Apache Send .java files as text instead of download

Question

How do I configure my apache instance to simply load *.java files in browser instead of sending it to me as a download?

Put this somewhere convenient:

AddType text/plain .java

in your httpd.conf file. You can find this file via:

$ /usr/sbin/apachectl -V | egrep "(HTTPD_ROOT|SERVER_CONFIG_FILE)"
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

(the typical location is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)

then restart your apache with

/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful

Thanks, is there also a way to set this as the default for all "unknown files"? – verhogen Jan 29 '11 at 08:05
