Improved pipe mode in Tika CLI
------------------------------
Key: TIKA-206
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-206
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cli
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.4
Currently the pipe mode (the parsed document is read from standard input) in
the Tika CLI is triggered either by giving an explicit "-" command line
argument or by giving *no* command line arguments. This results in the somewhat
surprising behaviour of only the first of the following two otherwise
equivalent invocations producing output:
cat testPDF.pdf | java -jar tika-0.3-standalone.jar
cat testPDF.pdf | java -jar tika-0.3-standalone.jar --xml
It would be better if the pipe mode was activated whenever no explicit file (or
URL) is specified as an argument (and arguments like --help or --gui are not
specified).
