Michael McCandless commented on TIKA-623: ----------------------------------------- Is there some way to proceed here without requiring libpst be mavenized? Ie, is that really a blocker? Are we unable to add a simple JAR into Tika, here, and then open a follow-on issue for mavenizing libpst? If it is a blocker.... can one of the maven gurus please step in and help? I don't think we should push "mavenizing" responsibilities onto contributors if we can possibly help it... it's already wonderful enough that Richard created libpst, relicensed it so we could incorporate it, fixed bugs, that Tran created an initial Tika parser, that Mark is pushing things forward. > Add support for Outlook PST > --------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-623 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-623 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: parser > Reporter: Tran Nam Quang > Attachments: OutlookPSTParser.java > > > 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 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
