[jira] [Created] (TIKA-766) Trim down the NetCDF dependency
Trim down the NetCDF dependency
-------------------------------
Key: TIKA-766
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-766
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: packaging, parser
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
As noted in TIKA-763, the NetCDF dependency contains a few LGPL classes that we should get rid of, ideally without the workaround added for TIKA-763.
Additionally, with 4.2MB the NetCDF jar is pretty large and includes lots of stuff that isn't really related to parsing NetCDF and HDF files.
It would be nice if the NetCDF project could produce a separately packaged read-only parser library that only contains the stuff needed by Tika.

[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-766) Trim down the NetCDF dependency

john caron commented on TIKA-766:
---------------------------------
Ive attempted to get any LGPL code out of netcdf-java version 4.3.11, which will be released next week.
Weve also done more work on mavenizing it, hopefully that will work for you.
In terms of size, I can cut it down some, but not much (maybe down to 3 M?). If you only want netcdf-3, that could be very small. But if you want all those other file formats, that gets pretty big. Both GRIB and BUFR are now in optional jars.
