The release looks good, but I found a few interesting issues:
* I built from sources ("mvn install") successfully.
* I tested 0.3 with the the TikaIndexer test in Lucene in Action 2.
I used "mvn dependency:copy-dependencies" to gather all the
necessary JARs. Then TikaIndexer was able to index our small set
sample docs just fine. Though, I did see this new warning printed
when indexing an MS Word doc (97-2003 format):
[java] A property claimed to start before zero, at -512!
Resetting it to zero, and hoping for the best
Not sure if that's a problem with my document or something with
the POI beta?
* Then, I had Tika extract all text for the entire manuscript (MS
Word 2003 docs) for LIA2, and it did great!
* The tar file doesn't unpack to "apache-tika-0.3" subdir, which is
sort of unfriendly. (It puts a bunch of files into my current
dir).
* Signature is good for apache-tika-0.3-src.tar.gz.
* Could you add the KEYS file to the toplevel release dir?
* The maven path seems to have an extra "tika" subdirectory? I see
resository/org/apache/tika/tika/0.3/*
