Tim Donohue reassigned DS-1140:

Assignee: Richard Rodgers
Hi Richard,
Assigning this to you then. :)
If you find you won't have time before 3.0, we can always reassign it to
someone else.
Glad to hear this sort of thing has already been implemented. It will be great
to expand support to more formats and also get rid of this outdated
'text-mining' dependency.
> Update MSWord Media Filter to use Apache POI (like PPT Filter) and also
> support .docx

> Key: DS-1140
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1140
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DSpace API
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
> Assignee: Richard Rodgers
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> The Microsoft Word Media Filter (org.dspace.app.mediafilter.WordFilter) uses
> outdated, obsolete third party software, specifically the "text-mining" tools
> at: http://code.google.com/p/text-mining/
> However, there are now better options out there, especially Apache POI.
> http://poi.apache.org/text-extraction.html
> Apache POI also has the benefit of being able to extract text from docx, xls,
> xlsx and even Publisher and Visio files.
> We may even be able to create a single "MSFilter" which can just extract doc,
> docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx, etc. all using POI.
> Any volunteers to implement? Looks like we should be able to implement it
> similar to the current PPT Filter
> (org.dspace.app.mediafilter.PowerPointFilter) which already uses POI. See
> also DS-714.
