------------------------------------
Summary: Parsers should not include HTTP client code
Key: TIKA-2882
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2882
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 1.21
Reporter: Jonathan Essex
Folks, does it really make sense for a parser to have a REST client built in?
The GROBID and NLTKNERecogniser parsers use the apache CXF client directly.
Since I don't use CXF and my entire app is built on a different JAX-RS stack
this just dropped me straight into dependency hell.
Surely it would make more sense to keep the parsers... well, parsers... and
build support for delegating parsing to other services into some higher level
in the stack (such as the server, where the CXF dependency is more benign).
