---------------------------------------

Hi Keith,

 I'd like to get away from having to dictate where files go based on their runtime necessity -- I think we can do better than that, and have a cleaner separation of build-time source tree versus runtime jar file needs.

 Let's investigate whether or not there's a way in Maven to prevent it from copying src/main/resources to target/classes, or, alternatively, investigate a way to do a move rather than a copy of target/classes/tika-config.xml and target/classes/mime/tika-mimetypes.xml to target/classes/org/apache/tika and target/classes/org/apache/tika/mime, respectively.

-1 for placing the files in their runtime directory required places.

Cheers,
  Chris

> The Tika and Mime config files occur in two places in the jar file.  This is because they are not stored in our src/test/resources directory tree in the same place that they need to be in the target/classes directory tree, and there is a copy directive in the POM file that copies the files to different directory.
> For example, tika-config.xml is in src/main/resources, but needs to go to target/class/org/apache/tika.  Maven automatically copies the files in src/main/resources to the same location in target/classes, so tika-config.xml is copied to target/classes.  Then, the copy directive in the POM file copies the file to target/classes/org/apache/tika.  So the file is copied twice.
> I recommend the following to fix this:
> * Move tika-config.xml to src/main/resources/org/apache/tika.
> * Move tika-mimetypes.xml to src/main/resources/org/apache/tika/mime.
> * Remove the copy directives for the above two from the POM file.
