True but isn't it about making it as easy as possible for users - not requiring them have or download other s/w first? Tika already has assembly descriptors which produce both tar.gz and zip format source and binary distros - so at the cost of a minute or two for the RM to run one command doesn't seem too much. Perhaps the next release could use them. Niall > Thanks for the comments! > > Cheers, > Chris > > [1] http://www.7-zip.org/ > [2] http://www.cygwin.com/
