---------------------------------

             Summary: Swallows security exception and returns null
                 Key: TIKA-2571
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2571
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Nik Everett


[We|https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/28570#issuecomment-364330623] had what looked like a Tika error when we ran our tests on Java 10. It turns out that this was caused by a [change|https://github.com/dmlloyd/openjdk/commit/0052c70c389aa5bed6e9b47e09ca887ac0ef4b2f#diff-704561497d8c3df4c77bc8f35b15ad73R825] in Java 10 to make ZipFile required accessDeclaredMembers, a permission that we don't grant ourselves. Tika made this *very* difficult to debug by catching `RuntimeException` and returning `null`. Since `SecurityException` extends `RuntimeException` we lost all debugging information that might have made this problem simple to track down. Tika should probably let `SecurityException` bubble up.
