While processing a bunch of PDFs off the web, I ran into a
ClassNotFoundException thrown inside of PDFBox:

I believe the issue is that the PDFBox pom.xml declares the dependency
on the missing BouncyCastleProvider jar as "optional".
<dependency>
<groupId>bouncycastle</groupId>
<artifactId>bcprov-jdk14</artifactId>
<version>136</version>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
As explained in the Maven documentation, this means that Tika needs to
explicitly include the jar:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html
I see a few other optional dependencies in the PDFBox pom.xml, but
perhaps the only one that's really critical is the above.
Let me know if anybody else has input on this, otherwise I'll file an
issue and fix it.
