Nick Burch commented on TIKA-3034:
----------------------------------
We tend to do 3ish releases a year. Last release was in December, so it's
probably a month or two until there will be enough bug fixes / dependency
upgrades / new features to convince our hard-working release manager
[~tallison] to tackle it!
In the mean time, if you put the latest tika mimetypes file on your classpath
ahead of the Tika Core jar, it'll be used instead of the built-in one, avoiding
the need to use a full nightly build while you wait
> Detector always returns text/plain when scanning Mathematica files

> Key: TIKA-3034
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3034
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: detector
> Affects Versions: 1.23
> Reporter: Tung Nguyen
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.23
>
>
> We are working with Tika to implement our mime types detection module. The
> library seemingly cannot detect Mathematica files although the documentation
> confirmed it does [1]. The Tika detector always returns `text/plain` instead
> of `application/mathematica` as described in the documentation as well as
> unit tests [2].
> By doing the same need with Python code as below, we can obtain the right
> mime types for any Mathematica file downloaded from the Wolfram Library
> Archive [3].
> {code:java}
> #!/usr/bin/python3
> import mimetypes, os, sys
> test_file = sys.argv[1]
> print(mimetypes.MimeTypes().guess_type(test_file)[0])
> {code}
> Therefore, we suspected there is a bug in Tika detector where it tries to
> guess mime types for Mathematica files.
