Description

In Maven, tika-parsers has a dependency on edu.ucar:netcdf:jar:4.2:compile. Inside this netcdf jar is a logging adapter (included in the jar, not as a Maven dependency) .

This prevents well behaved logging behavior for folks using Tika, because this logging adapter sits on the classpath, waiting to steal your log messages and ignore your preferred logger.

Here is the offending class that is in the netcdf jar:

// Compiled from JDK14LoggerAdapter.java (version 1.4 : 48.0, super bit)
public final class org.slf4j.impl.JDK14LoggerAdapter extends org.slf4j.helpers.MarkerIgnoringBase implements org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger {

It seems that Tika should either re-package the netcdf jar file, or convince the netcdf people to make a new release where this isn't a problem.
