Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-623: ------------------------------------ bq. Is there some way to proceed here without requiring libpst be mavenized? Certainly. The only thing we'd need is to have the library available as a dependency on the central repository (otherwise we can't push out a Tika release with such a dependency). This requires no changes to the upstream library, just some extra metadata and appropriate -sources and -javadoc jars to accompany to the upload. See https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Uploading+3rd-party+Artifacts+to+The+Central+Repository for details. Anyone can volunteer to take care of this. See for example https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tagsoup-friends/vIUe_jSR5YQ/discussion for a thread where I volunteered and did this for a recent release of the TagSoup library. > Add support for Outlook PST > --------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-623 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-623 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: parser > Reporter: Tran Nam Quang > Attachments: OutlookPSTParser.java > > > Hello everyone, > As you might know, Outlook stores its mails and other stuff in a single PST > file. There's a relatively new Java library called java-libpst for reading > Outlook PST files. It is licensed under the LGPL and available over here: > http://code.google.com/p/java-libpst/ > I have tested the library on Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003, with good > results. It would be great if the library could be integrated into Tika. > Best regards > Tran Nam Quang -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
