Simple test files attached. [~lfcnassif], let me know if you'd still like to
contribute your parser. If not, I'll start from scratch. Thank you!

> Key: TIKA-1601

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Tim Allison

>
> Recently, James Ahlborn, the current maintainer of
> [Jackcess|http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/], kindly agreed to relicense
> Jackcess to Apache 2.0. [~boneill], the CTO at [Health Market Science, a
> LexisNexis® Company|https://www.healthmarketscience.com/], also agreed with
> this relicensing and led the charge to obtain all necessary corporate
> approval to deliver a
> [CCLA|https://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt] for Jackcess to
> Apache. As anyone who has tried to get corporate approval for anything
> knows, this can sometimes require not a small bit of effort.
> If I may speak on behalf of Tika and the larger Apache community, I offer a
> sincere thanks to James, Brian and the other developers and contributors to
> Jackcess!!!
> Once the licensing info has been changed in Jackcess and the new release is
> available in maven, we can integrate Jackcess into Tika and add a capability
> to process MSAccess.
> As a side note, I reached out to the developers and contributors to determine
> if there were any objections. I couldn't find addresses for everyone, and
> not everyone replied, but those who did offered their support to this move.
