Henning Gross updated TIKA-661:
-------------------------------
Attachment: MimeType.getExtensionsPatch.txt
Patch that adds getExtensions() and addExtension() as well as a test to core
component.
It does not remove but adjust the old getExtension() and setExtension() methods
for code compatibility but they are now obsolete.
> MimeType class does contain a String with accessor named Extension. This
> should be a List<String> Extensions due to several reasons.

> 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.
