Cannot add Tika into my project

When I clicked the reimport button in the Maven Project tool window. IntelliJ didn't automatically download Tika into my project.

Could you describe your problem a bit better? I think you've solved the problem by now. However, I just wanted to emphasise using tika-core as @Adam Fields said instead of tika. For me, I had a problem where the dependency wouldn't be added to the external libraries. I tried refreshing in the Maven Projects menu, but no new libraries are added. Then I tried using Tika-core, so I replaced

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tika/tika -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId>
    <artifactId>tika</artifactId>
    <version>1.18</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

with

<!--Working-->

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tika/tika-core -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId>
    <artifactId>tika-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.18</version>
</dependency>

and everything got working perfectly. In case this was your issue, I hope then that this fixes your problem. In case you were having a different issue, please describe it more clearly, as it'd be also helpful to know how you solved your problems.

Thank you for this. I don't know why but in my case, I had to erase <type>bundle</type>.

Hi Xiao Qi ,

I had this problem as well. I was using the tika artifactId and not tika-core. Switching to tika-core resolved the issue.

my settings are this:

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId> <artifactId>tika-core</artifactId> <version>1.18</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency>,

But I keep getting this error on my import line in App.java

"Cannot resolve symbol tika"

line looks like: import org.apache.tika.Tika;

Any suggestions?
