How do we know when Tesseract is installed? There isn't an easy, cross-platform Java method to check if a given program is installed. Maybe, we make the user specify the install location in some config file? Then, don't have to worry about Tesseract being on the path or not.
The same way that Ray's stuff checks to see if exiftool is installed or not. I'd suggest you crib of all the work he has already done on calling out to native programs from Tika!
