I just though about it .. but if it will not be part of JADE (which i can
accept :) )...
we should think about writing a kind of datatype library which loads different
file types and returns just a bitmap/text/whatever to the app. it think this
is th best way to handle the file type chaos ...

i'd really like to see it but i can't promise that i'll have enough time to
read it that intesitively ...

but tell me if the idea of a datatype library (class) would be good or is
there enough support in the java apis ?!
