[Java-gnome-developer] Java-Gnome and mime types

[M. <li...@so...>]

Hi,

Is there in the library files a function to get the mime type of a file,
something like String getMimeType(file). And is it possible to get the
theme icon for a specific mime type, so when ever i show a mp3 file I
would display the correct icon ?

Cheers, Soren

Some people have been working on a libgnomevfs-java wrapping around the
GNOME VFS libraries. I don't believe the work is that advanced, though.

Check the mailing list archives; there was some discussion about this
and MIME information a few months ago.
