class - class is the org.eclipse.ui.ide.fileSystem.FileSystemContributor used to handle browsing and validation of an org.eclipse.core.filesystem.IFileSystem.
scheme - The scheme is the scheme of a org.eclipse.core.filesystems.filesystem this contribution corresponds to.

Examples:


 <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.ide.filesystemSupport">
      <filesystemContributor       
        class="myFileSystemContributor"
            label="My file system"
            scheme="myFilesystem "/>
   </extension>

The example above has a FileSystemContributor that maps to a org.eclipse.core.filesystems.filesystem that it is provding a user interface for.

API Information:

The should be a one to one mapping of a org.eclipse.core.filesystems.filesystem scheme to filesystemContributor.
