Uwe Schindler commented on TIKA-1526:
-------------------------------------
FYI: The underlying bug in the JVM will never be fixed in Java 6. Java 9
previews are no longer affected, but Java 7 and Java 8 are still broken
(inclduing the update from yesterday). Oracle possibly will fix in 7u80 (last
Java 7 release before EOL) and 8u40.
> ExternalParser should trap/ignore/workarround JDK-8047340 & JDK-8055301 so
> Turkish Tika users can still use non-external parsers

> As of Tika 1.7, the TesseractOCRParser (which is an ExternalParser) is
> enabled & configured by default in Tika, and uses ExternalParser.check to see

> fails fast for Turkish users on BSD/UNIX variants (including MacOSX) like

> AutoDetectParser handled this? ... i'm not really sure how it would best fit
