Incidentally, I've started using tika-core for MIME detection only yesterday. At runtime anyway, the dependencies are only Commons Lang, IO and Logging. So, not too bad, is it? But I would also welcome if MIME detection were separate, since I currently don't need text extraction in my application. I don't feel strongly about it, though.
