I would like to load a custom-mimetypes.xml file from a directory, not from the jar files. Is it possible?

Yup, I do it quite often when testing

Just make sure that you have a directory structure like:
    somewhere/org/apache/tika/mime/custom-mimetypes.xml

Then ensure that that "somewhere" is on your classpath, eg

find test-mimetypes -type f
test-mimetypes/org/apache/tika/mime/custom-mimetypes.xml

java -classpath tika-app-1.8-SNAPSHOT.jar:test-mimetypes 
org.apache.tika.cli.TikaCLI --detect foo.bin

That'll run the tika app, along with your additional custom mimetype definition from the "test-mimetypes" directory
