More like a container task that could depend on other tasks: for 3.4 we should start to use MIME types consistently for various loaders. E.g.: - ExtensionList should handle MIME wildcards and understand attributes listed after a semicolon as being specializations (e.g. "text/html" will match actual type "text/html;charset=UTF-8") - XMLDataObject in APIs, as well as in xml module, should recognize text/xml as well as text/*+xml, and use a MIMEResolver rather than file extension list - TXTDataLoader should recognize text/plain, and use a MIMEResolver - ditto HTMLLoader (text/html), ImageLoader (image/*), .... - CloneableEditorSupport could find the right editor kit using a better lookup which understands MIME attributes and wildcards, too; e.g. setting its contentType to text/x-ant+xml should use a text/xml kit if available; JEditorPane's registration is not so clever - if we make a meta-loader which delegates to other loaders by MIME type, it should check first for an exact match, then exact module attributes, then a wildcard match, etc.
Petr do you want to take this one over? It might be exactly what you are doing anyway, or parts of it...
Sure. I am taking it.
Getting rid of all issues. If there is anything that should be done now, please be specific.
