Removing cryptographic JARs from Tika
Hi,
Is there a wiki or instructions on how to remove cryptographic software
from Tika? Is it enough to simply remove the bouncy castle libraries from
Tika's JAR and yet be able to use Tika to its full capacity less encrypted
files?
I have no need to extract text off encrypted files, but due to Tika
including cryptographic JARs, I won't be able to use.
Thank you!!
Steve

Hi Steve,
I don't know of any specific instructions for how to do this.
Seems like a good candidate for the https://wiki.apache.org/tika/TikaParserNotes page on the wiki.
If you're talking about using Tika as a library, then you'd typically edit the pom.xml (or equivalent) to exclude the bouncy castle dependencies.
Though I'm not sure what happens when parsing an encrypted file - ideally we'd have some well defined behavior, versus throwing a class not found exception :)

I striped off "bouncycastle" from tika-app-1.11.jar and everything is
working. I can extract text just like before, but when I pass it an
encrypted PDF file, I get the expected error: "Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider".
For my use, I can live with this.

Hmm, I think in that case you'd need to manually strip those libs from the jar.
Or do your own special build, with a modified pom.xml
Or you could contribute a pull request to update the build, such that it also creates a version of the app jar that doesn't have crypto support.

To be specific about my question.
I want to remove all cryptographic JARs, such as Bouncy Castle, from
tika-app-1.11.jar and yet be able to use tika-app-1.11.jar from the command
line as I have always been. No, I have no need to process encrypted files.
