Ok, here's a concrete path that could be taken: 1) Move tika-config.xml from the default package to org.apache.tika.
2) Create a no-args constructor on TikaConfig that uses a single shared instance of the default configuration object created with the above tika-config.xml. (These objects are immutable, so this should be threadsafe (right?).) 3) Add ParseUtils methods that do not require a TikaConfig object. This would require doubling the number of methods, but I'm willing to write them if you're willing to include them. If you like, I can do this and submit a patch. - Keith -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Providing-a-Default-Tika-Configuration-tf4510478.html#a12869536 Sent from the Apache Tika - Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
