-&lt;b&gt;WARNING: This extension point is DEPRECATED.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
-Do not use this extension point, it will be removed in future versions of this product.
-Instead, use the extension point &lt;a href=&quot;org_eclipse_core_contenttype_contentTypes.html&quot;&gt;org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes&lt;/a&gt;
-&lt;/p&gt;
-The content types extension point allows plug-ins to contribute to the platform content type catalog. There are two forms of contributions: &lt;cite&gt;content types&lt;/cite&gt; and &lt;cite&gt;file associations&lt;/cite&gt;.
-&lt;ul&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;
-a content type represents a file format and its naming conventions. Content types can be defined from scratch, or can inherit from existing ones, specializing them. Also, a content type can be made into an alias for another content type (see the &lt;code&gt;alias-for&lt;/code&gt; attribute). When this feature is used:
-  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;if the target is absent, the alias content type is processed 
-  as a normal content type;&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;if the target is present, all references to the alias type are automatically
-  transformed into references to the target type, and the alias type cannot be 
-  accessed nor is exposed through the API.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
-&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;
-a file association extends an existing content type by associating new file names and/or extensions to it&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&gt;

-         Following is an example of an XML-based content type declaration using &lt;code&gt;org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.XMLRootElementContentDescriber2&lt;/code&gt;, 
-a built-in describer: 
-&lt;p&gt;
-&lt;pre&gt;
-   &lt;extension point=&quot;org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes&quot;&gt; 
-      &lt;content-type id=&quot;ABC&quot;
-       base-type=&quot;org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml&quot;      
-       file-extensions=&quot;a,b,c&quot;&gt;
-       &lt;describer class=&quot;org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.XMLRootElementContentDescriber2&quot;&gt;
-        &lt;parameter name=&quot;element&quot; value=&quot;abc&quot;/&gt;
-       &lt;/describer&gt;
-      &lt;/content-type&gt; 
-   &lt;/extension&gt; 
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-&lt;/p&gt;
-Here is an example of a simple text-based content type that has a specific file extension:
-&lt;p&gt;
-&lt;pre&gt;
-   &lt;extension point=&quot;org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes&quot;&gt; 
-      &lt;content-type id=&quot;MyText&quot;
-       base-type=&quot;org.eclipse.core.runtime.text&quot;
-       file-extensions=&quot;mytxt&quot;/&gt;
-   &lt;/extension&gt; 
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-&lt;/p&gt;
-When there is need to associate new file names/extensions to an existing content type (as opposed to defining a new content type), a plug-in can contribute a file association as seen below. This has the effect of enhancing the definition of the text content type to include files with names following the &quot;*.mytxt&quot; pattern.
-&lt;p&gt;
-&lt;pre&gt;
-   &lt;extension point=&quot;org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes&quot;&gt; 
-      &lt;file-association 
-       content-type=&quot;org.eclipse.core.runtime.text&quot;
-       file-extensions=&quot;mytxt&quot;/&gt;
-   &lt;/extension&gt; 
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-&lt;/p&gt;
-Here is an example of a content type that defines properties:
-&lt;pre&gt;
-   &lt;extension point=&quot;org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes&quot;&gt; 
-      &lt;content-type id=&quot;MyContentType&quot;
-       file-extensions=&quot;dat&quot;&gt;
-         &lt;property name=&quot;file-format&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;/&gt;
-      &lt;/content-type&gt;
-   &lt;/extension&gt;
