The GNU JavaBeans™ Activation Framework (JAF) provides a Free implementation of the JavaBeans™ Activation Framework, version 1.1.

JAF links together beans and internet standards for specifying MIME types and how MIME types are processed. It provides a means to associate data of a given MIME type with bean actions operating on that data.

#### Important files

Standard `mime.types` files are parsed by the JAF MIME handling classes to work out the MIME types available on the local system.

Standard `mailcap` files (defined in RFC1524) are parsed by mail capability handling classes to work out what beans should be linked to what MIME types.
