We are currently using Tika 1.0 with XMLBeans 2.3 and we would like to upgrade our version of XMLBeans to 2.4. I don't see anything explicitly saying that XMLBeans version 2.3 is required for Tika 1.0, just a few references to it in the change lists. Is it possible to use XMLBeans 2.4 with Tika 1.0, or is this an unsupported configuration?
XMLBeans runtimes are backwards compatible, so for POI we compile with the oldest version that supports all we need (2.3). This means that you can run it on 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 depending on what else you need for the rest of your application. So, upgrading the runtime to a newer version should be fine.
(If we compiled the schemas with 2.5, then you wouldn't be able to use them on 2.3 or 2.4, and we don't want to force people to upgrade if they're already using and have QA'd a setup with an older runtime)
