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.

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.

Would be nice to have a list but like I said will try do help where I
can when trying it out.

jeje, yaeh that would be a perfect starting point for a small readme.
Thank you very much Jukka and I guess I will have a couple of question
when I start the parse plugin.
