Yes, indeed! We have also discussed it here: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/338
Using MediaType in BlobStore is just a first step, since it has to deal with content types quite a bit. IMHO, all String representations of MIME types should use this class. Tests, annotations, you name it. I thought we had a coding best practices doc somewhere, but I can¹t seem to locate it. Any pointers? It would be good to capture any best practices like this for community members to reference. /jd On 4/22/14, 12:45 AM, "Andrew Phillips" <[email protected]> wrote: >> How do others feel about using the Guava MediaType [1] class for >> MIME types instead of the (less robust) JAX-RS MediaType [2] >> throughout the codebase going forward?
