Sorry about that. I've been working on cleaning up our type handling
code. If you need this method, I'll restore it as a deprecated method
for now.

See the new MediaTypeRegistry class. An alternative version of your
code could be:
boolean isEqualOrSpecializationOf(String type, String parent) {
MediaTypeRegistry registry = MediaTypeRegistry.getDefaultRegistry();
MediaType a = registry.normalize(MediaType.parse(type));
MediaType b = registry.normalize(MediaType.parse(parent));
return a.equals(b) || registry.isSpecializationOf(a, b);
}
PS. This and other details about media type handling in Tika is
available in chapter 4 of the Tika in Action book
(http://www.manning.com/mattmann/) I'm currently writing with Chris
Mattmann.
