------------------------------------------

Hi Tim,

I already have a parser based on jackcess. If you can wait, I can submit a preliminary patch next week.

> Recently, James Ahlborn, the current maintainer of [Jackcess|http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/], kindly agreed to relicense Jackcess to Apache 2.0.  [~boneill], the CTO at [Health Market Science, a LexisNexis® Company|https://www.healthmarketscience.com/], also agreed with this relicensing and led the charge to obtain all necessary corporate approval to deliver a [CCLA|https://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt] for Jackcess to Apache.  As anyone who has tried to get corporate approval for anything knows, this can sometimes require not a small bit of effort.
> If I may speak on behalf of Tika and the larger Apache community, I offer a sincere thanks to James, Brian and the other developers and contributors to Jackcess!!!
> Once the licensing info has been changed in Jackcess and the new release is available in maven, we can integrate Jackcess into Tika and add a capability to process MSAccess.
> As a side note, I reached out to the developers and contributors to determine if there were any objections.  I couldn't find addresses for everyone, and not everyone replied, but those who did offered their support to this move.
