Stephane, The textmining.org became sort of a stop gap to support people who wanted to extract text from Word docs while I was working on HWPF. However now there is a feature in the textmining.org library that I don't plan on adding to HWPF and that is support for Word 6.0/95.
The post I made to lucene-user about PowerPoint to text was a repost from poi-user that someone had posted. I haven' t gotten around to testing it out but I have referred several people to it and I haven't heard back from them, so I assume it works. The relationship between textmining.org and POI is that I am the principal author of HWPF and I am the principal author of the textmining.org libraries. I should just donate it to lucene because it is becoming a major hassle to maintain. Although I don't know...it has gotten me some side work. So I don't know what I plan on doing with it. -Ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephane James Vaucher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 3:52 PM Subject: POI & Lucene integration > Hi everyone. > > I'm planning on using POI to add MSOffice doc support to my app using > Lucene.
