Very good. I am planing to use tika as a parse plugin for Apache Droids[3]. As soon I find the time to test it I will try to write a couple of lines how I got it running. > The reason why at least I don't yet feel ready to start documenting > Tika is that we're still working on some of the key interfaces.

Hmm, the problem with zero documentation (a couple of lines normally do) is that it scares away possible interest. I for one always look for the standard "build jar and execute this command" readme. > > That said, you can already do some pretty nice things with Tika.

Thank you very much Jukka and I guess I will have a couple of question when I start the parse plugin. salu2 > > [1] > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tika/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/tika/cli/TikaCLI.java > [2] > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tika/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/tika/gui/TikaGUI.java > [3] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/labs/droids/trunk/ -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions
