Jukka Zitting resolved TIKA-746. -------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: (was: 1.1) 1.0 There was a backwards compatibility issue with existing client binaries that used the previous create() methods in MimeTypesFactory. I restored those methods as wrappers around the new ones in revision 1189126. Overall the solution looks good to me, so resolving as fixed for 1.0. > Support custom mime types > ------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-746 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-746 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mime > Affects Versions: 0.10 > Reporter: Nick Burch > Assignee: Nick Burch > Fix For: 1.0 > > > As discussed over the summer > <http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Appending-Mime-Types-td3266434.html> > there are legitimate cases for wanting to load in extra, custom mimetypes > (and their matching rules) to Tika > Discussions seem to conclude that the built in tika-mimetypes file should be > used for common and public mimetypes, and people wanting to support > additional public formats should open an issue to have them in the main file. > People who want only a very restricted set of mimetypes can use a custom tika > config with a limited, smaller mimetypes file > For people who want to load one or two extra, likely custom mimetypes, we > should provide a service loading system to pull in the extra mimetypes. This > allows for the regular mimetypes file to be used for most files, and the > extra custom ones merged in as needed. It also allows for a custom parser to > provide the mimetype detection for the specific custom formats it handles -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
