Description Karen Butzke CLA 2010-06-03 16:25:38 EDT 
Creating a Java project is loading org.eclipse.jpt.core.JptCorePlugin unnecessarily.  Our contentType extensions are causing this. We need to go ahead and associate our contentTypes with the xml file extension even though we extend the org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml contentType which sets the file extension as xml. It sort of looks like a bug in the ContentType functionality, but also appears they did this on purpose.

Every example I see on the web of defining an xml content type extends the org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml ContentType and redefines the file extension.

we should look at bug 285370 for another way to handle this. Otherwise we are just delaying our bundle activation until there is a .xml file in the project. This happens when a project is changed to a faceted project.

Our org.eclipse.jpt.core.internal.resource.IndeterminateContentDescriber is what is being loaded.

proposed patch against head

this patch just moves the IndeterminateContentDescriber to a new package org.eclipse.jpt.core.internal.resource.contenttypes and excludes that package from bundle activation
