Thanks for the quick response.
node type? When I try it with foo.png and foo.xml (which contains the

I forgot that foo.png was in a sub folder and so the name of foo.xml was not
relevant (I thought). As you write, naming foo.png and foo.png.xml is
correct. However, this still does not work and having looked into
Loader.installFromPath(), I also do not understand how it could work. The
first entry is foo.png for which a descriptor is found but no provider. So
the file is created with type nt:file even though it should have been
f:PageBox. What do I miss here?
foo.png.xml:
<node>
<primaryNodeType>f:PageBox</primaryNodeType>
<property>
<name>f:title</name>
<value>the tile of my first PageBox</value>
<type>String</type>
</property>
</node>
Node Type:
[f:PageBox] > nt:resource,mix:versionable
- 'title' (String)
version

Yes, that's what I want.

Oem, breakpoints in Loader.registerBundleInternal() did not work with
jetty:run but with launchpad/app everything works fine (for what reasons so
ever).

Nice to see that your intention and my wish match; there is just reality
between us. I'll see whether I can invest some cycles of my day dreaming to
the configuration.
