Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-60:
-----------------------------------
How about just dropping the MS prefix at least from the parser classes? Excel,
PowerPoint, and Word are quite descriptive even without the MS prefix.
Also, about the package naming, IMHO we should spell out the ms package as
microsoft and place all the related parser classes in that package to reduce
the number of small packages we currently have.
Something like:
org/apache/tika/parser/microsoft/OfficeParser.java (the base class)
org/apache/tika/parser/microsoft/ExcelParser.java
org/apache/tika/parser/microsoft/PowerPointParser.java
org/apache/tika/parser/microsoft/WordParser.java
> Use consistent capitalization for Microsoft abbreviation in class names.

> We have several classes whose names contain "Ms" or "MS" as abbreviations for
> Microsoft. We should be consistent about which one we use. (My personal
> preference is "MS".) Here is a list of the classes:
> org/apache/tika/metadata/MSOffice.java
> org/apache/tika/parser/ms/MSParser.java
> org/apache/tika/parser/msexcel/MsExcelParser.java
> org/apache/tika/parser/mspowerpoint/MsPowerPointParser.java
> org/apache/tika/parser/msword/MsWordParser.java
