--------------------------------------
Guys -
I just spent a lot of time trying to figure out why I was getting a
MalformedURLException when running TestParsers within Intellij Idea. The
reason was that although Idea knows to copy resources to the target directory a
la Maven, we had thwarted it by putting tika-config.xml in a different
directory and using a copy directive to put it in the right place.
I guess I hadn't experienced this before because I had done a mvn
compile/test/install before going into my IDE.
This is exactly the kind of thing I was referring to when I suggested that we
follow the Maven convention in this case. I don't want to be a pain, but the
fact that I actually experienced a problem due to this approach is IMHO
significant.

> The Tika and Mime config files occur in two places in the jar file. This is
> because they are not stored in our src/test/resources directory tree in the
> same place that they need to be in the target/classes directory tree, and
> there is a copy directive in the POM file that copies the files to different
> directory.
> For example, tika-config.xml is in src/main/resources, but needs to go to
> target/class/org/apache/tika. Maven automatically copies the files in
> src/main/resources to the same location in target/classes, so tika-config.xml
> is copied to target/classes. Then, the copy directive in the POM file copies
> the file to target/classes/org/apache/tika. So the file is copied twice.
> I recommend the following to fix this:
> * Move tika-config.xml to src/main/resources/org/apache/tika.
> * Move tika-mimetypes.xml to src/main/resources/org/apache/tika/mime.
> * Remove the copy directives for the above two from the POM file.
