Do you have the JAR files in classpath or do you extract them and merge all class files and resources? This happens, e.g. if you ask Eclipse to create one uber-jar containing everything. The problem that then appears is, that every meta-inf file coming from separate jar files are overwriting each over. SPI is relying on actual jar packages as deployment units.
The JAR files (which are pulled from a Maven repository) have been added to the plugins section of the RCP product and are both loaded (i.e. on the apps classpath). The problem stems from the tika-bundle not being on the classpath of tika-core bundle.
I could repackage the tika-core and tika-bundle into a single OSGI-Bundle, effectively replicating the bundle before the 1.0 release. However, this would seem to defeat the purpose of the OSGi-bundles provided by the tika project.
Also, From what I can gather, SPI is the cause of the problem, as OSGI and SPI are largely incompatible.
