Nick Burch commented on TIKA-661:
---------------------------------
Currently we only allow one mime type to have any given extension. Possibly we
could relax that slightly if we implement support like this
> MimeType class does contain a String with accessor named Extension. This
> should be a List<String> Extensions due to several reasons.

> Key: TIKA-661
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-661
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mime
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Henning Gross
> Labels: features, newbie, patch
>
> The javadoc for the method suggest that it will return the "preferred
> extension" for a MimeType. Acutally its the first Extension deserialized from
> tika-mimetypes.xml. The method would have to be renamed to
> getFirstExtensionInList(). This pretty much points at the fact that this
> method makes no sense at all.
> There are several use-cases in which one would want to know ALL known valid
> extensions for one mime type. I will submit a patch later today.
