Using Tika to crawl doc, pdf, etc.

It seems like using Tika as a plug-in to Nutch for processing various
non HTML formats is somewhat bleeding-edge.  Can someone point me (or
tell me) how I can simply use Tika in Nutch to crawl and index MS
Office or PDF docs?  Or is it now in there by default?

Thanks!

it's already in.

here's a snippet from my nutch-site.xml:

<property>
  <name>plugin.includes</name>
<value>protocol-http|parse-(text|html|pdf|mspowerpoint|msword|msexcel|oo)|language-identifier|urlfilter-regex|index-(basic|anchor)|query-(basic|site|url)|response-(json|xml)|summary-basic|scoring-opic|urlnormalizer-(pass|regex|basic)</value>
  <description>Regular expression naming plugin directory names to
  include.  Any plugin not matching this expression is excluded.  By
  default Nutch includes crawling just HTML and plain text via HTTP,
  and basic indexing and search plugins.
  </description>
</property>


remember that nutch needs you to add manually a couple of jars to handle
pdfs correctly. check out the README.txt.

Thanks.  I know this seems like it is any day, but does anyone have
more details on exactly when this will happen?  I saw some traffic on
the nutch-dev list about 0.6 of Tika possibly facilitating this, but I
don't know whether I should wait for things to just be there by
default or whether I should find a way to do it myself.  I am sorry if
I come across as "complaining" about free software. :-)  I'm not, I do
appreciate it.

Should be there by default, once the Tika plug-in gets rolled in.
