Should we put out a point release to address CONNECTORS-1450?
Essentially, all Tika extractions for Microsoft Office files will fail
without a fix for this problem, so I think it's pretty severe. What does
everyone else think?

Ok, I've updated the release branch and pulled up what I think is the fix.
I think we should also create an Apache POI ticket to complain about the
behavior of class instantiation in the poi-ooxml package -- and also the
backwards dependency between poi-ooxml.jar and poi.jar, on
org.apache.poi.util. The way the classes depend on each other makes
Apache POI unusable as separate jars, and the class loader issue means
that it must always be loaded in the application root level. It's much
better (and more standard) to use the current class's class loader when
resolving classes by reflection.
Any volunteers for working with Apache POI to create such a ticket, and
follow up?

Hi Fellows,
I think it should be fixed and we can point a release for it.
Kind Regards,
Furkan KAMACI
