Support for adding language profiles dynamically
------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-490
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-490
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: languageidentifier
Affects Versions: 0.7
Reporter: Jan Høydahl
Fix For: 0.8
Currently the Tika LanguageIdentifier loads language profiles thorugh a
hardcoded static block in the java code.
It would be better to make this configurable, so you could add your own
languages without recompiling.
Suggested approach:
Remove the static code block loading all languages. Instead look for a
tika.languageidentification.properties file on classpath.
Now the user can simply make his/her own (additional) language profile files,
put them on the classpath together with a properties file and off you go!
Also, once you make it configurable, there might be an issue of having the
profiles as static members, as you will force the same behaviour for the whole
VM. A static Map of Maps could solve this.
