A brief correction followed an olive branch:
Tom pointed out that my last message said:
By "user interface", I hope you don't mean core VisAD user-interface
helper classes, not user-developed code.
and, of course, I really meant:
By "user interface", I hope you mean core VisAD user-interface
helper classes, not user-developed code.
As quick summary, I want to add three methods to all the file types:
public boolean isThisType(String name)
public boolean isThisType(byte[] block)
public String[] getDefaultSuffixes()
Would it be more palatable to you if we created a new FileType interface
which specified those methods? That'd let us get quick lookup functions
into the file type classes but still keep them logically separate from
the FormNode class.
