MimeType class does contain a String with accessor named Extension. This should 
be a List<String> Extensions due to several reasons.

                 Key: TIKA-661
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-661
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mime
    Affects Versions: 0.9
            Reporter: Henning Gross


The javadoc for the method suggest that it will return the "preferred 
extension" for a MimeType. Acutally its the first Extension deserialized from 
tika-mimetypes.xml. The method would have to be renamed to 
getFirstExtensionInList(). This pretty much points at the fact that this method 
makes no sense at all. 
There are several use-cases in which one would want to know ALL known valid 
extensions for one mime type. I will submit a patch later today.
