Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-8:
--------------------------------------
Jukka,
+1 for this. I have code from Jerome Charron that implements a fairly robust
MimeType repository based on Freedesktop.org. Sorry I've been out of the loop
recently -- I will step back up the effort on TIKA-6. Thanks for keeping the
momentum rollin'.
Cheers,
Chris
> Remove dependency to GPL'd jmimeinfo

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jukka Zitting
> Assignee: Jukka Zitting
>
> The Lius Lite code from TIKA-7 (most notably the
> org.apache.tika.utils.MimeTypeUtils class) depends on the jmimeinfo library
> [1] by Andy Hedges. Unfortunately jmimeinfo is GPL software, so we can't
> depend on it. I will remove the dependency and hope that TIKA-6 or another
> similar effort will come up with a good replacement.
