MIMEResolver, Favorites and Nodes

[Gregor Kovač]

Hi!

I have three questions how to do things in NetBeans Platform 6.1:
1.) I want to create a MIMEResolver subclass that will return a MIME
type for files displayed in Favorites.
I know how to do that using layer.xml and special file that is
registed in Services/MIMEResolver folder. I also created my
MIMEResolver that takes a setting from NbPreferences and returns
correct MIME for giver FileObject. How do I now register it in defualt
Lookup?
2.) How do I use Nodes and Explorer API to display a tree of files in
a directory?
3.) Since I don't know how to do that I'm using Favorites to display a
tree of files. I also created a special Action that is displayed on
popup menu when a node is right-clicked. Of course now this Action is
tied to a MIMEs that are defined in Services/MIMEResolver. Now if I
use my MIMEResolver. If I open a subfolder in Favorites, will MIMEs be
resolved everytime the node is opened or only once? I'm asking this
because I'd like to resolve MIME for a FileObject according to
settings in NbPreferences.

Best regards,
    Kovi

Use META-INF/services as usual.

Most simply, use DataObject.find(root).getNodeDelegate() to make a node,
then create a panel which is an ExplorerManager.Provider and add a
BeanTreeView to it.
