[Mac file types]
> Do you know any way of accessing this identifier through java?

Nope. That would be system specific, so it's not allowed...

The best solution would probably be to construct some kind of extensible
file typing class hierarchy for java, that can determine what a file
contains from the first 512 bytes or so...
I'm aware of nothing quite like this for Java.

Java Media Framework comes close, but that is only really meant to work with
(streaming) media, like animations and sound.
