"Re: tika-config.xml vs. META-INF/services/...; The service provider mechanism [1] makes it easy to add custom parser implementations without having to maintain a separate copy of the full Tika configuration file. You could for example create a my-custom-parsers.jar file with a META-INF/services/o.a.tika.parser.Parser file that lists only your custom parser classes. When you add that jar to the classpath, Tika would then automatically pick up those parsers in addition to the standard parser classes from the tika-parsers jar." This was exactly what I tried, but it did not work. I'm using Tika 1.1
