Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2882:
-----------------------------------
I can't wrap my head around adding tika-parser-modules before 2.0.
Depending on what fellow devs think, my standards for blockers for 2.0 have
diminished greatly as the years progress. If we could get [~bobpaulin]'s
modularization into/as 2.0 and abandon other hopes/dreams (er, put them off
until later), that'd be good enough for me.
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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).
