Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6387:
-------------------------------------
Makes sense.
> Pom files should have a dedicated mime type registered ("application/pom+xml"
> or similar)
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-6387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6387
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: POM
> Reporter: Alex Dubov
> Priority: Trivial
>
> For the sake of convenience working with ever growing abundance of packages,
> and, thus, pom files, is not it time to give the humble pom file its own,
> dedicated mime type (something to the tune of "application/pom+xml")?
> Presently, the fact that pom files don't have a dedicated mime type causes
> all kinds of minor but annoying issues in all kinds of least expected places.
> Considering that registering a mime type with IANA is a pretty
> straightforward process and that pom files are widely used for all kinds of
> automation purposes (and not exclusively by maven anymore), I, on behalf of
> the wider community, urge you to consider registering a dedicated pom mime
> type.
