FYI: Version 5.1.1 of the XMPCore library which is compatible with JDK 1.5/1.6 is available on Maven Central now.

The patch also contains integration with Tika-app, hooking the converter up with the "-y" output option and therefor providing XMP output for Tika CLI. Any client interested in using XMP as metadata container can use the new module, other clients are not affected. The module's API extends the tika-core Metadata class but also offers the possibility to directly work with the XMP data model. This approach has been chosen to ease the usage for existing Tika clients but also providing the ability to work with the XMP data model if required. The Metadata information from Tika can either be converted by mimetype-specific converters which convert everything for their respective file formats or by a generic converter, which will convert all full qualified properties which use prefixes from registered namespaces, i.e. all standard namespaces like DC, IPTC, EXIF, etc. are already supported but clients can also register custom ones. For that purpose the API also offers the Namespace registry functionality from the XMPCore component. I have also provided converters for the office file formats in the patch, allowing conversion of all properties for those file formats. I have provided two patches to TIKA-756. The "tika-xmp.patch" provides the extra Tika module based on the current Tika source. The "tika-xmp_dependsOn_TIKA929changes.patch" contains the same tika-xmp module as offered by the other patch, but depends on the patch from TIKA-929 being applied first. The recommendation is to resolve TIKA-929 and then use the latter patch. Please note: The tika-xmp module provided by the patches use the XMPCore library available in the Maven Central repository. Unfortunately the current version 5.1.0 has accidentally been compiled for JDK 1.7 which is not compatible with Tika. We are in the process of uploading an update of the library with the version 5.1.1 which will solve that problem. The Patch in TIKA-756 can only be applied when the new XMPCore version 5.1.1 is available in Maven Central. I will update the issues once that has happened.
