[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1628) ExternalParser.check should return false if it hits SecurityException

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1628?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14539834#comment-14539834 ] 

Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1628:
----------------------------------

Via ForkParser we already have a way to spawn a new JVM and have it run our code, maybe we could do something along those lines for the test? (Though perhaps it's an overkill...)

> If you run Tika with a Java security manager that blocks execution of external processes, ExternalParser.check throws SecurityException, but I think it should just return false?
