Mime Type Converter

Identifier:

com.ps.consul.eclipse.ui.MimeTypeConverter

Since:

2.5

Description:

The extension point allows to specify conversion handlers for different mime types.

A conversion of mime types for instance can occur when the user changes the description mime type of a model in the ModelPropertyPage
or when a tool tip needs a plain text for display of descriptions.

A mime type converter specifies the source and target mime type his conversion supports and provides the conversion itself through the IMimeTypeConverter interface.

Converters are prioritized, so higher priority (lower number) replaces lower priority converters.
