Importance of xdg specifications

[Timo Stuelten]

Hi Chas!

You might be interested in the code i wrote:
ftp://ftp.cg.cs.tu-bs.de/public/people/stuelten/de.sty/de.sty-activation

I recently needed some desktop specific stuff from the java side 
to get appropriate applications/actions/commands and the mimetype for 
files. I used the fd.o specs and mimetype definitions for this purpose.

What i have is some code to get a mimetypes of files/streams and an 
extension to Sun's Java Activation Framework useing .desktop files to get 
appropriate applications. 

Probably the same stuff you wrote ;)
