    SystemFlavorMap

      public interface FlavorMap

  A two-way Map between "natives" (Strings), which correspond to platform- specfic data formats, and "flavors" (DataFlavors), which corerspond to platform-independent MIME types. FlavorMaps need not be symmetric, but typically are.

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `Map<String,DataFlavor>` | `getFlavorsForNatives(String[] natives)` Returns a `Map` of the specified `String` natives to their corresponding `DataFlavor`.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getNativesForFlavors

          Map<DataFlavor,String> getNativesForFlavors(DataFlavor[] flavors)

      Returns a `Map` of the specified `DataFlavor`s to their corresponding `String` native. The returned `Map` is a modifiable copy of this `FlavorMap`'s internal data. Client code is free to modify the `Map` without affecting this object.
      Parameters:
        `flavors` - an array of `DataFlavor`s which will be the key set of the returned `Map`. If `null` is specified, a mapping of all `DataFlavor`s currently known to this `FlavorMap` to their corresponding `String` natives will be returned.
      Returns:
        a `java.util.Map` of `DataFlavor`s to `String` natives

    - #### getFlavorsForNatives

          Map<String,DataFlavor> getFlavorsForNatives(String[] natives)

      Returns a `Map` of the specified `String` natives to their corresponding `DataFlavor`. The returned `Map` is a modifiable copy of this `FlavorMap`'s internal data. Client code is free to modify the `Map` without affecting this object.
      Parameters:
        `natives` - an array of `String`s which will be the key set of the returned `Map`. If `null` is specified, a mapping of all `String` natives currently known to this `FlavorMap` to their corresponding `DataFlavor`s will be returned.
      Returns:
        a `java.util.Map` of `String` natives to `DataFlavor`s
