TIKA-4723 follow-up: fix sqlite3 shade filter and correct docs

[nddipiazza]

Summary

Follow-up fixes for TIKA-4723 (merged via #2809).

Changes

1. tika-parser-sqlite3-package/pom.xml — align shade filter with sister packages

The maven-shade-plugin filter in tika-parser-sqlite3-package was missing three exclusions present in both tika-parser-scientific-package and tika-parser-nlp-package:

• module-info.class — without this exclusion, shading multiple deps that each carry a module-info.class causes a duplicate-entry error in the shaded jar on Java 9+.
• META-INF/LICENSE.md — duplicate clutter; the ApacheLicenseResourceTransformer already handles the text-format LICENSE.
• META-INF/NOTICE.md — same rationale as LICENSE.md.

2. docs/modules/ROOT/pages/maintainers/release-guides/release-artifacts.adoc — fix incorrect TikaConfigException claim

The doc said:

tika-grpc requires at least one pf4j plugin to be loaded at startup; an empty plugins/ directory triggers a TikaConfigException with a download URL pointing at Apache dist.

This is factually wrong. TikaGrpcServerImpl (line 133) logs a LOG.warn when pluginManager.getPlugins().isEmpty() — it does not throw a TikaConfigException. The server continues to start; fetcher-dependent RPC calls simply fail at runtime. Corrected the description to match the actual code path.

Review Focus Areas

• tika-parser-sqlite3-package/pom.xml shade <filters> block — confirm the three new exclusions are correct and complete.
• release-artifacts.adoc paragraph about empty plugins — confirm the new wording accurately reflects startup behaviour.

Critical Files

• tika-parsers/tika-parsers-extended/tika-parser-sqlite3-package/pom.xml
• docs/modules/ROOT/pages/maintainers/release-guides/release-artifacts.adoc

Testing Instructions

# Verify the sqlite3 shaded jar builds without duplicate module-info errors
mvn package -pl tika-parsers/tika-parsers-extended/tika-parser-sqlite3-package -am -DskipTests

# Confirm shaded jar exists and no module-info duplication
jar tf tika-parsers/tika-parsers-extended/tika-parser-sqlite3-package/target/tika-parser-sqlite3-package-*-shaded.jar \
  | grep -c module-info   # should be 0

Review Checklist

• sqlite3 shade filter exclusions match scientific and nlp packages
• Docs accurately describe tika-grpc startup behaviour when no plugins loaded

@tballison i reviewed your changes. found no issues. claude recommended this tiny stuff but i think we can close this pr unless you find value in that stuff

[tballison]

Looks good. Will take a look early tomorrow. Thank you!

This doesn't break anything for grpc, right?

[nddipiazza]

we have e2e tests @tballison i'll check to see how they are

Pull request overview

Follow-up for TIKA-4723 to keep the sqlite3 parser “shaded jar” behavior aligned with other parser packages and to correct release-guide documentation about tika-grpc behavior when no PF4J plugins are present.

Changes:

• Added missing maven-shade-plugin filter exclusions (module-info.class, META-INF/LICENSE.md, META-INF/NOTICE.md) to the sqlite3 shaded package, matching sister packages.
• Updated the release artifacts guide to reflect that tika-grpc logs a warning (rather than throwing TikaConfigException) when started without plugins.
