Class FileTypeResolver

  • All Implemented Interfaces:

    Serializable

    public class FileTypeResolver
extends Object
implements Serializable

    Utility class that can figure out mime-types and icons related to files.

    Note : The icons are associated purely to mime-types, so a file may not have a custom icon accessible with this class.
