Uwe Schindler commented on TIKA-1675:
-------------------------------------

There was already an issue/discussion open on POI mailing lists and issue 
tracker to no longer use xmlbeans & Co, because since Java 6 the JAXB interface 
is a public API that allows to map XML documents to Java Beans - which is 
exactly the same as xmlbeans is dooing. Unfortunately this is a larger approach 
to change the API to do use the standards Java API (and might also bring more 
performance). This would remove a lot of unneeded XML-based stuff from POI for 
Microsoft Office 2007+ file formats.

-1 to absorb the buggy xmlbeans (this lib was also the problem of the major 
Solr/Lucene security issue last year)
+1 to adopt JAXB instead of xmlbeans

> please avoid xmlbeans dependency
