Building tika 0.6 with "mvn install" failed for test cases org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ExcelParserTest and org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ooxml.OOXMLParserTest. Thus tika-parsers-06.jar etc. were not build.
The reason is the system locale which in my case was not explicitly set and defaults to "de" (',' instead of '.' in Excel spreadsheet etc.). Setting locale to en_EN resolves the issue. Until JIRA TIKA-371 is resolved (which would allow to set locale explicitly in test cases) at least a hint should be written on http://lucene.apache.org/tika/0.6/gettingstarted.html (and in README.txt). -- Timo Timo Boehme OntoChem GmbH H.-Damerow-Str. 4 06120 Halle/Saale T: +49 345 4780472 F: +49 345 4780471 timo.boe...@ontochem.com _____________________________________________________________________ OntoChem GmbH Geschäftsführer: Dr. Lutz Weber Sitz: Halle / Saale Registergericht: Stendal Registernummer: HRB 215461 _____________________________________________________________________
