[oXygen-sdk] Problem with opening dita maps

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Jan,

If you are using Oxygen 15.2 just overriding the 
"URLStreamHandler.getContentType()" should be enough.
Also in 15.2 you have the new API method:

> ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.Workspace.open(URL url, String imposedPage, String imposedContentType)

So you can open an URL resource by identifying it as a DITA Map by 
calling it something like:

> Workspace.open(url, null, "application/ditamap");

About your specific questions:

> ·         When I did an “Open map in editor” from the map manager panel I got a popup asking to open in the map manager or editor. Would expect it to open it in the editor immediately.

This happens because you added the "xml" extensions to the list of 
identified DITA Map extensions.

> ·         Is it possible to set the “DITA maps file patterns” through code? Otherwise all users have to do this manually.

It is possible but I would advise against it because of the side effect 
you observed above.
We have API:

> ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.PluginWorkspace.setGlobalObjectProperty(String, Object)

which could be used early when the workspace access plugin is activated 
to force the option like:

> PluginWorkspace.setGlobalObjectProperty("dita.map.file.patterns", "*.ditamap, *.bookmap, *.xml")
