My proposal for the Parser interface was to use the JavaBean conventions for any static configuration. We can have an optional XML configuration mechanism in Tika, but you could just as well configure the parsers with your favourite IoC container or with explicit Java/Groovy/etc. code. In fact, at the moment the XML parser configuration in Tika does basically nothing more than associates the parser class name with the set of mime types that it supports. We could (and perhaps even should) easily drop the whole config file. BR, Jukka Zitting
