All, I started working on the Eclipse plug-in that I have mentioned earlier but I ran into a problem with the AutoDetectParser.
It does not seem to recognize any of the MS Office file formats. They all return "application/octet-stream" as content type, but no metadata. All other file formats work OK. I tested this with the test files included in the src\test\resources\test-documents directory. My source looks like this: ----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<---- private AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser(); private Metadata metadata = new Metadata(); ... parser.parse(stream, new DefaultHandler(), metadata); ----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<---- I'm running Java 1.6.0_03 on Windows. I there anything special that must be done to get POI to work? -- Litrik De Roy Norio ICT Consulting - http://www.norio.be/
