Hello.
Since this is my first message here I think it probably makes sense to
write a couple of lines of personal introduction.
I've been working with Java and metadata in the past, both for customers
and for my pleasure (to manage my stuff), in multiple reprises
interspersed with years-long gaps when I did other things. Every time I
get back to the topic I first look around and update my code with the
latest libraries available. In the past I've worked with ImageIO, Drew
Noakes' Metadata Extractor, mp3agic, other stuff, even wrote my codecs
for camera RAW files. Personal introduction ends here.
At the moment I have three pet projects dealing with both music and
photos. I'd like to get rid of old libraries (including some patches and
forks and my own stuff) and converge to Tika if possible .
Now it was pretty easy to extract metadata with Tika from JPEG files,
but after many different attempts I'm still clueless about "naked" XMP
files (I only get a very small bunch of DC stuff). Those XMP files have
been generated by camera RAW applications, such as Lightroom and Photo
Supreme, and they are packed with tons of stuff - including all the EXIF
metadata. I've searched on the javadoc, StackOverflow, Tika Wiki, but I
was unable to find a simple working example.
AutoDetectParser, which works with JPEGs, doesn't do the job; I've also
tried XMLProfiler and messed around with
ImageMetadataExtractor.parseRawXMP(), but no way.
So, please, let me have a hint...
Thanks.
