Description Martin Schovanek 2001-09-27 12:52:04 UTC 
[Linux, NB Build 200109270100, JDK1.3.1]

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
1) install pilsen_fcs XML, XML-Syntax, (CORBA) modules into NB 3.3
2) expand Tools > Options > Editing > Editor Settings

IDE throws thre Warning dialogs:

"KitClass class org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.syntax.XML(DTD,CSS)Kit has not
define method getContetntType(). It should not be displayed as node in Editor
Settings."

I saw it too in Corba IDL Kit.
Comment 1 Martin Roskanin 2001-09-27 13:17:54 UTC 
All subclasses of NbEditorKit have to override and define the method
public String getContentType() 

I have already announced this via nbdev mailing list.
http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=144469&listName=nbdev

As I see it is neccessary to fire a bug against appropriate modules.

Thanks,

Mato
Comment 2 Martin Roskanin 2001-09-27 13:46:12 UTC 
bug #15982 and bug #15983 have been fired against xml and corba module.
Comment 3 Martin Schovanek 2001-09-27 14:28:02 UTC 
Yes, I understand it. But modules written for NetBeans 3.2 (Pilsen)
has to run in NetBeans 3.3. That is reason why I fire this bug.
Comment 4 Martin Roskanin 2001-09-27 15:09:00 UTC 
Yes. I apologize. I was too quick.;-)
Comment 5 Martin Schovanek 2001-10-01 16:47:25 UTC 
By definition, all such bugs are Beta stoppers.
Comment 6 Jan Lahoda 2001-10-01 19:09:14 UTC 
I found in JavaDoc from EditorKit.getContentType():
"Gets the MIME type of the data that this kit represents support for."

I understand this that each EditorKit is *required* to return proper
MIME type string. If it is not, it is a bug.
If I understand right the JavaDoc, I recommend to close this bug.
Comment 7 Jan Lahoda 2001-10-02 08:49:33 UTC 
Fix this bug please. The JavaDoc is not so clear and old modules
should work.
