All -
I think it would be convenient for Tika users to not need to specify a Tika
configuration resource, if they want the default configuration. Most users
(like me ;) ) trust you guys to come up with a correct configuration. After
all, Tika developers are the ones providing the library that ties all the
parsers together; it would be reasonable to expect that those developers
could come up with a reasonable default configuration.
One way this could be accomplished would be to move the default
configuration file from (root)/config.xml to
org.apache.tika.tika-config.xml. Then we could do a
getResource("/org/apache/tika/tika-config.xml") or equivalent and be fairly
confident that we are not accidentally getting a different file. If the
user chose not to specify a configuration (by passing null, or calling a
method that does not require one), then this default configuration could be
used.
I can post a JIRA issue if you like, but wanted to get your feedback first
in case I'm misunderstanding something.
Thanks,
- Keith
