Sergey,
Great to hear the code works well with the new modules! And I do agree
that Tika has a number of application specific usecases that can be
explored. I think the other goal is making the upgrade paths easier so
developers don't have to drag "JAR Hell" with them into their projects.
It was good to see in your commit you got to remove the maven exclusions
as well. I think you can also remove the explicit tika-core entry as
that should be a transitive dependency of any of the modules. This type
of working is a huge help in moving towards the 2.0 release.
I think the next steps should be determining if there are any other
breaking features we'd like to include in 2.0 and perhaps we can get Tim
to run the 2.x branch through his massive regression test :).

Hi All
Hope this message will be more relevant compared to the one I posted
after a social event at Apache Con NA 2016 :-). I had a chance to talk
to Nick and Bob the next day and we agreed it would be good to have
Tika 2.0-SNAPSHOT tested a bit more. Specifically I committed to
updating a Tika-based demo we ship in Apache CXF to use 2.0-SNAPSHOT
module dependencies - no pressure is expected on CXF master in the
short term given that the master release won't happen in the next few
months for sure.
FYI, in CXF we ship this demo:
https://github.com/apache/cxf/tree/master/distribution/src/main/release/samples/jax_rs/search
IMHO it is a very cool demo written by my CXF colleague Andriy Redko.
This demo was part of his NA 2015 presentation:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Apache%20CXF%2C%20Tika%20and%20Lucene.pdf
Here is a demo description: a user can upload PDF or ODT files to a
JAX-RS service using an HTML form. The uploaded files are submitted to
a CXF Tika extensions:
https://github.com/apache/cxf/tree/master/rt/rs/extensions/search/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxrs/ext/search/tika
with this code:
https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/distribution/src/main/release/samples/jax_rs/search/src/main/java/demo/jaxrs/search/server/Catalog.java#L115
where the Tika reported content/metadata is saved with Lucene.
Next a user enter a search phrase and finds matching documents, with
the links to them being reported so that a user can download it.
IMHO it is an interesting demo because it shows how Tika can help in
some application specific situations...
Finally, to the actual experiment I did today. Updating the demo to
use individual parser modules was easy:
http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/commit/c2ccecb2
All works well, better modularization in 2.0 will be welcomed
Thanks, Sergey
