What do you think of the idea of moving the tika-parsers dependency

jackrabbit-webapp and jackrabbit-jca? Tika is intentionally split
into tika-core and tika-parsers to allow such a setup.

yes, that's probably a good idea.

I filed JCR-2885 for this. We can do it for Jackrabbit 2.3.

however, i stil think it would be worthwhile getting rid of
unnecessary (transitive) dependencies and making sensible decisions
when adding new dependencies.

Makes sense. For now we've mostly simply imported everything included in Tika as I've considered the extra weight not too big a price for the added functionality (even if minimal). But you (and others) are right in that especially as Tika expands to cover more niche formats we should start being more picky in what we want to support in Jackrabbit. People who need support for the more exotic formats can always add the required libraries individually to their deployments.
