Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1461:
----------------------------------
Do you know the license of that file? And/or of a different jar that is apache
/ bsd licensed that shows the problem?
Before we go about making changes for this, we really want to add a unit test
so we can ensure it is properly fixed, but equally importantly remains fixed
into the future!
> Bad mime detection of certain JAR file
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-1461
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1461
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Reporter: Cservenak, Tamas
>
> Given this "ordinary" Java JAR file
> https://maven.atlassian.com/content/groups/public/com/atlassian/support/healthcheck/support-healthcheck-plugin/1.0.3/support-healthcheck-plugin-1.0.3.jar
> Manually inspected and tested it, it is a Jar file and is valid one.
> Still, Tika Core's Detector detects it as type {{application/x-msdownload;
> format=pe}}. Tthe detection is "hinted" with file name, hence "jar" hint is
> present, still it's not detected as desired {{application/java-archive}}.
> IMO, this happens due to the problem with priority of
> {{application/x-msdownload; format=pe}}, which is 55. If it would be 50, the
> "mediation" would kick in, see TIKA-1292.
> Changing/overriding magic priority is not possible using
> {{custom-mimetypes.xml}} is also not possible.
> Unsure what the correct solution is here, nor how to circumvent this without
> patching Tika.
> The problem affects versions 1.5 but also 1.6, but we target 1.6.
