Well, actually, let me ask that too. Is anyone actually using the
drewnoakes metadata parser? It appears there are several metadata parser
implementations, and this is just one of them.

This part of ERAttachment relies heavily on apache httpclient library,

probably never going to be. If no one is using it, I'm inclined to
remove it so that dependency can be removed as well. If it is being
used, I can try to modularize it with moditect, but I'd rather not
waste time supporting code if no one is using it.
I also notice that ERAttachment relies on drewnoakes
metadata-extractor, which is also not modular, but I will guess people
are using this. I'll try to add a module-info to that using moditect
maven plugin.
