Description Jesse Glick 2004-12-16 18:56:43 UTC 
Currently navigator providers are registered
according to DataObject subclass name, it seems.
This is an undesirable dependency on impl details
of the Java module (for example). Better to
register the provider either

1. In default lookup, with some filter. But could
cause overeager instantiation of providers.

2. [Preferred] In the layer, with a path named
acc. to file MIME type, e.g. ".../text/x-java/...".
Comment 1 David Simonek 2005-01-21 16:13:59 UTC 
Will implement in post 4.1 release.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2005-08-11 16:16:35 UTC 
Uh, isn't this already FIXED in 4.2?
Comment 3 David Simonek 2005-08-11 16:51:11 UTC 
Yes, it is.
