Enhancing tika config

Hi

I would like to add my own parsers (with new mime-types) to 
tika-config.xml, whereas I don't want to overwrite the default parser 
configuration. I am doing this at the moment by copying the 
tika-config.xml to some other file(name) and then reading this.

The problem with this approach is, that let's says tika progress I need 
to make sure to update my local tika config.

Is there some more elegant solution (like import for example) for such 
situations?

Thanks

Michael

Not at the moment. See TIKA-87 and TIKA-242 for related issues. It's a
known issue, but so far there hasn't been too much work towards fixing
it.
