[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-766) Trim down the NetCDF dependency

["john caron (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-766?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13399697#comment-13399697 ] 

john caron commented on TIKA-766:
---------------------------------

Ive attempted to get any LGPL code out of netcdf-java version 4.3.11, which will be released next week. 

Weve also done more work on mavenizing it, hopefully that will work for you.

In terms of size, I can cut it down some, but not much (maybe down to 3 M?). If you only want netcdf-3, that could be very small. But if you want all those other file formats, that gets pretty big. Both GRIB and BUFR are now in optional jars.

> As noted in TIKA-763, the NetCDF dependency contains a few LGPL classes that we should get rid of, ideally without the workaround added for TIKA-763.
> Additionally, with 4.2MB the NetCDF jar is pretty large and includes lots of stuff that isn't really related to parsing NetCDF and HDF files.
> It would be nice if the NetCDF project could produce a separately packaged read-only parser library that only contains the stuff needed by Tika.
