Hello,

I'm using the html\_strip char filter in my mapping, and this gives me a  
NoClassDefFoundError when indexing documents. See  
[https://gist.github.com/stof/fb8c0daa6dd7d6f2fae6](https://gist.github.com/stof/fb8c0daa6dd7d6f2fae6) for a reproducing script  
(and the output I got)  
The same config used to work on an older 1.3 version of ElasticSearch.

Environment:

ElasticSearch 1.3.7 (installed from the apt repository) with the  
mapper-attachment and marvel plugins enabled  
java: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.3)  
(7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)  
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
