In 5.0, it can be done without a patch.  It does, however, require an 
impl dependency on xml-core. I'd really like this to be simpler, and a 
supported API.

See below for issues with pre-release 6.0

Anyway, here's how I do it for an xml flavor called SCXML:

1. Register the link:DevFaqDataLoader.asciidoc[loader] for text/xml mimetype


[start=2]
. The loader:

[source,java]
----

import java.io.IOException;
import org.netbeans.modules.xml.core.XMLDataLoader;
import org.openide.filesystems.FileObject;
import org.openide.loaders.DataObjectExistsException;
import org.openide.loaders.MultiDataObject;
import org.openide.loaders.UniFileLoader;
import org.openide.util.NbBundle;

public class ScxmlDataLoader extends UniFileLoader
{
   
    public static final String REQUIRED_MIME = "application/scxml+xml";
   
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
   
    public ScxmlDataLoader()
    {
        super("com.nuance.tools.xhmi.ScxmlDataObject");
    }
   
    protected String defaultDisplayName()
    {
        return NbBundle.getMessage(ScxmlDataLoader.class, "LBL_Scxml_loader_name");
    }
   
    protected void initialize()
    {
        super.initialize();
        getExtensions().addMimeType(REQUIRED_MIME);
    }
   
    protected MultiDataObject createMultiObject(FileObject primaryFile) throws DataObjectExistsException, IOException
    {
        return new ScxmlDataObject(primaryFile, this);
    }
   
    protected MultiDataObject.Entry createPrimaryEntry (MultiDataObject obj, FileObject primaryFile) {
        return new XMLDataLoader.XMLFileEntry (obj, primaryFile); //adds smart templating
    }
   
    protected String actionsContext()
    {
        return "Loaders/" + REQUIRED_MIME + "/Actions";
    }
}
