Nick Burch commented on TIKA-623:
---------------------------------
If it's LGPL then we can't include it in Tika as standard
However, it is possible to have the parser dynamically loaded if a user chooses
to download the parser + dependent files (if the license works for them)
If you're interested in pst support, then I'd suggest you try to knock up a
basic parser using libpst. If you do get it working, please list it on the wiki:
http://wiki.apache.org/tika/3rd%20party%20parser%20plugins
If you need help with developing the plugin, please ask on the dev list. You
might also be interested in looking at the relatively small patch that was all
that was required to enable JTNEF (GPL) to be used as a Tika plugin:

> Hello everyone,
> As you might know, Outlook stores its mails and other stuff in a single PST
> file. There's a relatively new Java library called java-libpst for reading
> Outlook PST files. It is licensed under the LGPL and available over here:
> http://code.google.com/p/java-libpst/
> I have tested the library on Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003, with good
> results. It would be great if the library could be integrated into Tika.
> Best regards
> Tran Nam Quang
