Nick Burch commented on TIKA-3742:
----------------------------------
If it can just be run standalone and then {{ExternalParser}} +
{{tika-external-parsers.xml}} is probably the way to go - that already handles
testing if the program is installed, spawning it, cleaning up, grabbing text etc
> Advice around DGN7 parser and whether to add to TIKA

> Hi [~tallison] & Whoever else.
> I managed to compile the C/C++ library [http://dgnlib.maptools.org/] for
> DGN7 which produces an dgndump.exe which will dump all the data from the DGN.
> From my initial testing it looks pretty good.
> Would you guys think it was worth adding this or just keep it as a custom
> parser rather than in the main source code? It's under MIT license. I've
> attached the exe (zipped), a copy of the output from the dump and my very
> dirty testing calling the exe (my code I was only interested in the Strings
> so am only pulling those into a string array at the moment to check it's
> pulling out the correct data).
