This is the API to define mappings between file names, file extensions and content types, typically used by repository providers in order to determine whether a given file can be treated as text or must be considered binary. Mappings for names and extensions can either be contributed via an extension point or via this interface. For methods that determine the content type for a given file, the following rules apply:
  • Mappings for the entire file name take precedence over mappings for the file extension only.
  • User-defined mappings take precedence over plugin-contributed mappings
If a mapping is added for a name or an extension that already has a mapping which has been contributed by a plugin, it overrides the one contributed by the plugin. If the user-defined mapping is deleted, the plugin-contributed mapping is valid again. This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
