Tika.detect(URL) returns the mimetype as a String
The detectors themselves return a MediaType
Depending on what you want your code to do, the options are probably:
* Switch your code to use a mimetype String
* Switch your code to use MediaType rather than MimeType, and call
DefaultDetector directly (rather than using the Tika facade class)
* If you get back a String (not null) for the mimetype, create a MimeType
object for it
The right answer for you depends on the code you've got around the Tika
call
