Hi there,
I had a patch submitted as well, that does not need any external
library just a xml parser and a xslt processor that is - i think -
part of jdk anyway.
My solution works with a xsl that convert different rss feed to one
format and than I parsed this format with a normal xml parser.
Since the xsl support most rss formats may people are interested to
take a look and I can may fix smaller issues in case it will be
contributed to the svn.

Hi Andrzej,
At the time that I was working diligently on this plugin (April/
May), I
had done some thorough research into finding what I felt would be
the most
flexible, reliable way to parse RSS files. The RSS feed parser out
of the
jakarta-commmons sandbox was what I found, and I stand by it. I
understand
your concerns however about its reliance on several libraries, but
it just
comes with the territory in this case. However, as noted in:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-30 by Kevin Burton, when
feedparser 2.0 comes out, the reliance on the external libraries
will be
removed, so I think that by adopting the feedparser based plugin
right now,
we have a clear upgrade path that leads us to the plugin's
independence of
external libraries, without changing (much of) the underlying
source code.
That's my two cents.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Chris Mattmann

Hi,
Does anyone know why Chris Mattmann's RSS plugin (
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-30 ) wasn't put in the
repository, and whether there are plans to revive it and include it?
That's probably my fault. I was almost ready to import it, but then
during the final review I hesitated - I'm wary of pulling in so many
dependencies. Then other things got in the way, and I sort of
dropped it
for the moment...
If there's no way to parse RSS reliably other than using these
dozens of
libraries, so be it. Is this the case?
