Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-1217:
-------------------------------------
Nice idea!
I think putting such a feature to a separate tika-java7 component (included in
the build only when using Java 7 or higher) for now is the best solution, as
otherwise we'd need to raise the requirements on build environments. Once we do
do that at some point in future, the component can be merged into tika-core.
> Integrate with Java-7 FileTypeDetector API

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: detector, mime
> Reporter: Peter Ansell

> It would be useful if Tika natively provided Java-7 FileTypeDetector [1]
> implementations. Adding the corresponding
> META-INF/services/java.nio.file.spi.FileTypeDetector files would allow the
> use of Files.probeContentType [2] without any specific links to Tika for this
> functionality.
> If you do not want to rely on Java-7 for the core, then this could be added
> as an extension module.
