Review Request: JDK-7142921, (fs) Files.probeContentType reports a MIME type of "text/plain" on Ubuntu 11.04

[Mike Duigou]

I am concerned about relying on the location of the mime.types file on mac :

/private/etc/apache2/mime.types

The Apache installation included in MacOS X was partially disabled in Mountain Lion  (10.8) and it seems possible that they will eventually remove it or replace it with a different server.

MimeTypesFileTypeDetector is using a file name extension to look up its MIME type by checking mime.types files, which can be used in Linux, Solaris, and Mac. MagicFileTypeDetector is using libmagic to detect a file type in Linux. The library, libmagic, is provided in the same package of file command, which is currently only available in Linux platform.
