Re: [mylyn-integrators] Q: Mylyn attachments and content types

In Mylyn 2.3.1 both are supported as the content type of an attachment. I
would recommend using RepositoryTaskAttribute.ATTACHMENT_CTYPE which is the
content type attribute supported in 3.0.

The content type is used in some places to determine the content type, e.g.
when downloading an attachment to the clipboard. In the future this may also
be used for opening attachments in editors.
Setting a content type on RepositoryAttachments optional. If your connector
does not support content types (like Trac and JIRA) you can leave the default
value.

The framework will provide a mapping based on the filename if no content type
is available.

Yes.
