Hi,
Tika 4.x got rid of XML configuration being leveraged in Oak, so this will be 
hard to upgrade in a backwards compatible way: 
https://tika.apache.org/docs/4.0.x/migration-to-4x/migrating-to-4x.html#_configuration_xml_to_json
All API related to XML config has been removed only a standalone tool for 
conversion is available: 
https://tika.apache.org/docs/4.0.x/migration-to-4x/migrating-to-4x.html#_automatic_conversion.
This conversion exceed the time I can spend working on this, so any volunteer 
here would be greatly appreciated.

I haven’t checked though if it works fine again in OSGi.

Regards,
Konrad
