The Tika GUI will not show an error if you drag an unknown filetype. If you have not written an ii parser, then Tika will use a default parser. This default parser will always detect some metadata. (content-length, filename, etc...)
When you do get around to writing your "iiParser.java" TIKA gui will display a stack trace if there is something wrong with your code. > Is in the "parse" method where you will do all your work. This is, extract > the information of the resource and then set the metadata.
