------------------------------------------
Summary: Change scope of Tika dependency to provided
Key: ANY23-552
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ANY23-552
Project: Apache Any23
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build, dependency
Affects Versions: 2.6
Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney
Fix For: 2.7
Right now Any23 defines the dependency on [tika-core and
tika-parsers-standard-package|https://github.com/apache/any23/blob/master/pom.xml#L362-L379]
without scope meaning that a default scope of *compile* is therefore assumed.
In some cases this can be very inconvenient as the transitive version of Tika
(and subsequent Tika dependencies) may introduce unwanted and unnecessary
issues in the application dependency management logic.
I am proposing that we change the scope of the Tika dependencies to
*<provided>* meaning that we expect the application JDK or container to provide
the Tika dependencies at runtime. This also provides flexibility for the
application as now they can specify exactly which version of Tika they wish to
rely on and use for mimetype detection and encoding.
I also propose that we make the MIMETypeDetector implementation configurable
which it is currently not. For example, it could easily be added to
[default-configuration.properties|https://github.com/apache/any23/blob/master/api/src/main/resources/default-configuration.properties].
