We just want to copy this file, as is, into the exploded classes dir and 
resources.jar, so that it can be accessed through getResouceAsStream().

Ah, I see that now. I just checked a build on Mac and it copies 
src/solaris/lib/content-types.properties into the build.

The Mac version of this file was added by 7153735: "[macosx] Text with 
diacritics is pasted with broken encoding" [1], but I don’t believe anyone in 
the networking team was aware of it.

The only difference between the Mac and Solaris versions [2] is a missing 
change that I pushed a while back for 7025938 ”Add bitmap mime type to 
content-types.properties” [3]  ( this change should be in all versions of the 
file! ). The Mac version needs to be removed, since it is never used and just 
confusing. Thanks for catching this Erik.  (Note: there are genuine differences 
between the Unix and Windows versions)

Alex, 
  You ok with me removing this file, or was there a specific reason it was 
added? I cannot find one.

In the updated webrev I added it to COPY_PATTERNS so that it is copied as is.

The Mac version has been removed in the latest webrev, pending confirmation 
from Alex.
