Tyler Palsulich commented on TIKA-411:
--------------------------------------

I think so. If we just had a list of supported MIME types, the user will not 
know which Parser can actually process them. On the other hand, maybe we should 
make it clear that they don't have to use the individual Parsers -- just use 
AutoDetect? Regardless, I definitely think we should have this for the 1.6 
release.

> Currently we edit the list of supported types 
> (http://lucene.apache.org/tika/0.7/formats.html) manually, which is bound to 
> leave the list outdated and incomplete. It would be better if the list was 
> automatically generated from the tika-mimetypes.xml file and the 
> getSupportedTypes() response of the AutoDetectParser class.
