Boilerplate removal

I'm having the following in my nutchsite.xml. Yet the boilerplate removal
isn't quite successful. A lot of webpages (from reputable sources such as
reuters.com) come with sidepanes and other junks that were not removed. Any
suggestions from the experts?

  <name>plugin.includes</name>

<value>protocol-http|urlfilter-regex|parse-(html|tika|metatags)|index-(basic|anchor|metadata|more)|scoring-opic|urlnormalizer-(pass|regex|basic)</value>
  <description>Regular expression naming plugin directory names to
  include.  Any plugin not matching this expression is excluded.
  In any case you need at least include the nutch-extensionpoints plugin. By
  default Nutch includes crawling just HTML and plain text via HTTP,
  and basic indexing and search plugins. In order to use HTTPS please enable
  protocol-httpclient, but be aware of possible intermittent problems with
the
  underlying commons-httpclient library.

Well then use the parsechecker -dumpText tool to make sure it works or not. Reuters is notoriously bad to parse but Boilerpipe should make sense of it!

I didn't test this time around, but I think I did do testing before...

Anything could possibly go wrong? Anything else I can do?

You are sure the patch works? You get different text output with tika.use_boilerpipe enabled and disabled?
