----------------------------------------
Summary: Add functionality to change mimetype of an open file
Key: NETBEANS-5087
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5087
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ide - Code
Reporter: Christian Lenz
It is quite common to see it in other IDEs to change the MimeType from a file
which is open. For example creating a txt file as a temp file to discuss APIs.
That means you have not only JSON or XML but also comments and stuff which is
not supported in that file and make errors.
But that doesn't matter, the created txt file is just a collection of all
information.
So it must be possible to change the mimetype of a file which is currently open
to change the content/text to text/json. This is not possible in NetBeans. It
is just possible to change the mimetype for a whole filetype and that means
global. But this is not the case here.
I created a plugin where I can read out the mimetype of a file and shows it in
the statusbar. I wanted to change the mimetype, but the mimeType file property
is just read only or is only changable when the file was created in memory whie
the MemoryFileSystem.
I had a look into the code, at the end, NetBeans just take the extension and
looks into the mapping where it was mapped against. So we need a functionality
where we can change the mimetype temporarily.
