Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-93:
---------------------------------------
It's looking good Luis! This seems to be a good case though for using Tika's
External parser package:
http://tika.apache.org/1.5/api/org/apache/tika/parser/external/package-summary.html
I noticed that we are creating processes inside of the patch and it would be
good maybe to simply make it leverage ExternalParser?
I'm happy to work through an update to the patch to do that. Give me a day or
so.
