[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-642) Few of RTF files not extracting properly

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-642?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13036139#comment-13036139 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-642:
------------------------------------

No good alternatives until someone finds (or creates) a liberally licensed RTF parser library that we could use instead of relying on javax.swing. Until that the best we can do is to try add extra tweaks and hacks like the ones we already have in the RTFParser class.

As a minor improvement on this, in revision 1124702 I added code that converts such parse errors from IO- to TikaExceptions so we get a better error message than the generic "Illegal IOException".
