Dan Coldrick commented on TIKA-3742:
------------------------------------
[~nick] I've made a start today which I can share at some point tomorrow (been
to the pub tonight lol so will have to wait till tomorrow ), are you ok if I
lean on you 2 for help? I'd rather write something myself which you can rip
apart so I can learn something. I've learnt a lot in the last week or so
already :)
I also think there is some meta data in there somewhere which we should be able
to pull out :)

> Hi [~tallison] & Whoever else.
> I managed to compile the C/C++ library [http://dgnlib.maptools.org/] for
> DGN7 which produces an dgndump.exe which will dump all the data from the DGN.
> From my initial testing it looks pretty good.
> Would you guys think it was worth adding this or just keep it as a custom
> parser rather than in the main source code? It's under MIT license. I've
> attached the exe (zipped), a copy of the output from the dump and my very
> dirty testing calling the exe (my code I was only interested in the Strings
> so am only pulling those into a string array at the moment to check it's
> pulling out the correct data).
