Description

I'm having src/main/resources/org/apache/tika/mime/custom-mimetypes.xml (As recommended here https://tika.apache.org/2.9.0/parser_guide.html)

But this immediately introduces org.apache.tika.mime package in our jar (which is conflicting with same package in Tika ... (( )

Maybe it worth to create some alternative way to implement this?

Like

• Something like MimeTypesFactory.CUSTOM_MIMES_SYS_PROP but pointing to resource on classpath?
• Extendable static Map at MimeTypesFactory?
• Some sort of Service Locator?
• something better than above? ))
