Yep. You get pretty good type detection already with only the
tika-core jar (that has no external dependencies). For the
container-aware detection functionality (for accurately detecting MS
Office formats, etc.) you also need the dependencies as outlined by
Nick. If you are not constrained by size, it's probably easiest if you
simply use the whole dependency tree.

Yes, you can just do:
String mimeType = new Tika().detect(in);
This will automatically find and use all the detectors available in
the classpath, and will even take care of the TikaInputStream wrapping
for you.
