Hello,

I try to add an exported UTI for a file with extension "lxb" so that Xcode recognizes it like a java file

Code Block <key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
            <string>com.sun.java-source</string>
            <key>UTTypeReferenceURL</key>
            <string>http://www.java.com/</string>
            <key>UTTypeDescription</key>
            <string>Java source</string>
            <key>UTTypeIconFile</key>
            <string>com.sun.java-source.icns</string>
            <key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
            <array>
                <string>public.source-code</string>
            </array>
            <key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
            <dict>
                <key>public.filename-extension</key>
                <array>
                    <string>lxb</string>
                </array>
            </dict>
