Retrotranslate Tika for use in Java 1.4 environments
----------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-175
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-175
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: packaging
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
I'd like to use Tika in Apache Jackrabbit, but currently we can't do so because
Jackrabbit specifies Java 1.4 as the base platform and using Tika would force
an upgrade to Java 5. Jackrabbit like many other projects will eventually
upgrade to Java 5, but it would be very nice to be able to use Tika already
before that.
We could achieve this by using the Retrotranslator plugin
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/retrotranslator-maven-plugin/) to automatically
generate a Java 1.4 -compatible version of the Tika jar. This version could
then be used by projects like Apache Jackrabbit.
