How to use Tika library jars?

[Mark Kerzner <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have built Tika, and I see that it installed the  jars that it needs under
~/.m2, and that there are 220 jars there. They look to be intended for
Apache, but what am I to do if I want to use Tika in my Java application? Do
I copy all jars (can't believe that)? Or, does Tika somehow know where the
jars are?

I am upgrading from 0.5, and before there was a reasonable number of jars,
so I just included them in the project, but now I see that I am missing some
knowledge. Where should I read about it?

Thank you (and I mean, big thank you!)
Mark

Hi Mark,

No worries. You can use the tika-app-X.Y.jar, or you can include the jars specifically according to here:

http://tika.apache.org/0.7/gettingstarted.html

HTH,
Chris
