Github user ansell commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/any23/pull/132 Interesting that they went down the route of adding compile-time dependencies on the implementation, rather than compile on the api and runtime on the implementation. Based on fixing this in other libraries I have had success using the api artifacts in the maven compile scope with the implementations in runtime scope. Could possibly exclude the tika dependencies and switch to that strategy in Any23 rather than adding them all to compile scope here.
