Jukka Zitting resolved TIKA-628.
--------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.0
         Assignee: Jukka Zitting

I added the tika-app jar to downloads and in revision 1125344 I modified the release build to automatically prepare a release candidate folder with the source archive and the tika-app jar in it.

I don't think there's too much of a demand for direct downloads of the individual components or the javadocs, as the former are easily available from Maven Central (or as an aggregate in the tika-app jar for Ant users) and the latter are published on the Tika web site.

Thus resolving as fixed.

> At the moment, we don't produce a binary distribution, only a source one. As discussed on the mailing list a few times, I think we should change this.
> I'd suggest that we build a binary package that contains:
> * tika-app, tika-parsers and tika-core jar files
> * javadocs
> * a directory with all the dependencies in it (likely the same list as used in the tika bundle)
> This would allow non maven users to quickly get started with using Tika.
