An easy way to gather all these libraries is to run &quot;mvn dependency:copy-dependenci<wbr />es&quot; in the tika-parsers source directory. This will copy all Tika dependencies to the target/dependencies directory.<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
