Hi Tika devs, at POI, we are about to have a major change in the upcoming version after POI 3.17 is out, which will be probably in the next week or so.
Up till now we had a discussion [1], about the next Java SE, i.e. Java 7 or 8, and it looks like Java 8 is the preferred version - with the restriction on how you'll get along with that decision. In an ideal world you would say, ok we switch to Java 8 too, but I guess this won't happen ... at least not so fast. To continue the discussion, I could try to gather a few arguments why it would make sense to switch, but in the end you also have upstream dependencies to check for, e.g. elasticsearch [2]. So I would choose a different approach...: - do you have any plans to switch to Java 8? when would that be? - if we decide to go on, how much of an impact would that be for Tika (... to rely on an older POI version)? - any recommendations? maybe something like a mixed versions jar Thank you, Andi [1] http://apache-poi.1045710.n5.nabble.com/Discussions-on-POI-4-0-Java7-8-voting-td5728560.html [2] https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html
