TikaConfig problems

[Kaspar Fischer]

Hi everybody,

I am using Tika in a GWT project. My JUnit tests run fine and so does my GWT 
project in the so-called "GWT production mode". However, when I want to run GWT 
in the development mode from within eclipse, the statement

  Tika tika = new Tika();

creates internally a TikaConfig with no parsers. Looking at the sources, I see 
that the ServiceRegistry is used to find the parsers, and this one finds none 
at all.

I tried to do 

  Tika tika = new Tika(new TikaConfig(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()));

but when I do this, I get

  ava.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.tika.parser.asm.ClassParser cannot be 
cast to org.apache.tika.parser.Parser

I am not sure where exactly the problem lies. Obviously, my code finds the 
class Tika and I therefore suppose that all would work fine if only TikaConfig 
had its parsers list setup properly. So is there a way to populate this list 
with defaults WITHOUT calling the ServiceRegistry? (I do not have any custom 
parsers in my application.)

For the sake of completeness, I attach some information about my GWT config.

A lot of thanks in advance for any pointers or ideas, I am pretty lost here.

Thanks,
Kaspar

I have a Maven project that has dependencies to include version 0.8-SNAPSHOT of 
tika-core and tika-parsers. The Maven project uses the gwt-maven-plugin with 
the following setup (which according to 
http://mojo.codehaus.org/gwt-maven-plugin/eclipse/google_plugin.html is 
standard):

      <plugin>
