Description

So I wanted to build tika from source, and failed:

TabularFormatsTest.testSAS7BDAT:229->assertContents:216 en_US Wrong text in row 9 and column 7 - 03(MAR|Mar)(63|1963)[:\s]09:46:40(.00)? vs 03Mär1963:09:46:40.00
TabularFormatsTest.testXLS:236->assertContents:216 en_US Wrong text in row 9 and column 7 - 03(MAR|Mar)(63|1963)[:\s]09:46:40(.00)? vs 03Mär63 09:46:40
TabularFormatsTest.testXLSB:250->assertContents:216 en_US Wrong text in row 9 and column 7 - 03(MAR|Mar)(63|1963)[:\s]09:46:40(.00)? vs 03Mär63 09:46:40
TabularFormatsTest.testXLSX:243->assertContents:216 en_US Wrong text in row 9 and column 7 - 03(MAR|Mar)(63|1963)[:\s]09:46:40(.00)? vs 03Mär63 09:46:40

It fails because the expected "Mar" is not identical to "Mär". Setting the Locale to the US in setup doesn't help. Until there is a better solution, I'm taking Tim's suggestion to adjust the expected results. See also thread on dev:
