+ * <p>Helper class for detecting the right icon for a file or directory,
+ * based on its mime type and/or file extension.</p>
+ *
+ * This class maintains all the necessary mappings fot these detections.<br/>
+ * In order to add further mappings, there are up to three look up maps that need further values:
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>
+ * {@link MimetypeIconUtil#FILE_EXTENSION_TO_MIMETYPE_MAPPING}<br/>
+ * to add a new file extension to mime type mapping
+ * </li>
+ * <li>
+ * {@link MimetypeIconUtil#MIMETYPE_TO_ICON_MAPPING}<br/>
+ * to add a new mapping of a mime type to an icon mapping
+ * </li>
+ * <li>
+ * {@link MimetypeIconUtil#MAINMIMETYPE_TO_ICON_MAPPING}<br/>
+ * to add a new mapping for the main part of a mime type.
+ * This is a list of fallback mappings in case there is no mapping for the complete mime type
+ * </li>
+ * </ol>
