-----------------------------------

Hello guys, one question:

Wouldn't it be more resonable to use already developed description of magic 
numbers than develop Your own?

On freedesktop.org there is already a nice description of magic numbers in XML 
(with some i18n included). Also links to implemenations in languages other than 
Java are provided.  I think it is worth to consider using other people's work 
and give nutch users an ability to update their mime-type definition file just 
by dowloading it from freedesktop.org or updating their Linux distribution.

Shared mime info: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fshared_2dmime_2dinfo

Links to implementations:
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fshared_2dmime_2dinfo_2dspec

Just my 2c.
Regards,
