Description Svata Dedic 2013-02-14 14:09:39 UTC 
The MimePath internally holds a list of inherited Mime paths, which are used e.g. for MimeLookup or Preferences fallbacks. This information proved rather useful, and since there's no API to get the information, it is obtained using j.l.reflection on at least 3 places.

* SettingsProvider in editor.codetemplates
* CompositeFCS, PreferencesImpl in editor.settings.storage
* MimePathLookup in editor.mimelookup

Possibly there are some more usages, and I intend to add some more in code folding and/or CSL. So I think the method

  // return the inherited mime type, if any, for the content
  public String getInheritedType(); 

  // returns all the included MimePaths including this one.
  public List<MimePath> getIncludedPaths();

should be made added. All current usages work with MimePaths not folders - except MimeLookup implementation itself.

Existing clients that use reflection should be updated.

Please see the proposed diff for details
