| <h2>Content types</h2> |
| <p>The <b><a href="../reference/api/org/eclipse/core/runtime/content/package-summary.html">org.eclipse.core.runtime.content</a></b> |
| package provides support for detecting the content type for data streams. Content |
| types are used by several content-sensitive features of Eclipse, such as automatic |
| encoding determination, editor selection, and menu contributions. A central |
| content registry allows plug-ins to request content type detection and to find |
| out what content types are available and how they related to each other. The |
| content type registry is extensible so plug-ins can contribute new content type |
| definitions.</p> |
