MsPowerPointTextFilter error
Hi.
I was getting an exception on my application and it really took me a very
long time to figure what was happening. MsPowerPointTextFilter is requiring
commons-logging to work, and I did not had that .jar file on my classpath.
The constructor, needs that library to work, and so if you don't have that
library an InvocationTargetException is thrown.
My proposal is to remove that commons-logging dependency. I don't know why
that text filter is doing logging (only one message to print an error), and
why requires logging, when all the other filters are throwing up a
RepositoryException with embedded information.
Kind regards,
Martin

I commited that textfilter but I don't have time to fix it right now,
if this issue is still open I'll take a look at it tonight. Sorry for
the loss of time.
btw, it seems www.textmining.org site is no longer available, it is
hacked!?. I think it will be impossible for new users who haven't
downloaded the textminig binaries to build the textfilters project,
probably we should remove the textminig dependency, WDYT?

I've just realized that the textmining jar file is on ibiblio, so I
think there's no problem to use it even when its site is down

Hi Martin.
What is the alternative you have found to extract text from Word files?
Thanks for your help

Edgar, if I'm not wrong, the textmining library is used to extract text from
Microsoft Word files. I didn't made that class, but currently I haven't
found a better alternative to extract text from word files. Maybe someone
could point us to an alternative library, but Word support is a must to any
worthwile text filtering system.
Kind regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I think your proposal makes sense. If noone objects, I will remove the
dependency to commons-logging.
