Trying to create a new mime-type entry

[David Patterson]

I want to process a maven pom.xml with special code.

I added the following to the existing xml file of mimetypes:

  <mime-type type="application/maven-pom">
    <glob pattern="pom.xml" />
  </mime-type>

I used the MimeTypesFactory to process the file.
                MimeTypes mt = MimeTypesFactory.create( new FileInputStream( f 
) );

Using MediaType.parse works:
                MediaType pomType = MediaType.parse( "application/maven-pom; 
charset=UTF-8");
                System.out.println( "type: " + pomType.getType());
                System.out.println( "subtype: " + pomType.getSubtype());
Results in
type: application
subtype: maven-pom

Then I created a Tika object with:
                Tika tika = new Tika( mt );
                File pom = new File( "~somewhere~/pom.xml");
                String pomTypeString = tika.detect( pom);
                System.out.println( "Tika thinks a pom is a " + pomTypeString);
                String pomStreamTypeString = tika.detect( new FileInputStream( 
pom ) );
                System.out.println( "Tika thinks pom stream is a " + 
pomStreamTypeString );
produces

Tika thinks a pom is a text/plain
Tika thinks pom stream is a text/plain

If I create a default Tika with no args, I get
Tika thinks a pom is a application/xml
Tika thinks pom stream is a text/plain

What have I missed?

Thanks.
