--- Comment #7 from Damian Jansen <djansen at redhat.com> ---
This behaviour appears to have been intentional, i.e. via the Web UI you don't
have to specify the type as using the mvn client is not part of the workflow.
If you don't use maven, this option is not relevant to you.
This behaviour appears to have been introduced in
2e9a156e34e7e9f089e47ede54a047e27ef5febe as a fix to an accidental project type
setting problem.

If you want to specify the above as a "bug", then this is a massive oversight,
simply because:
- user can upload incorrect file types to a project (eg. .odt -> UTF8Prop)
- using maven push/pull with files of the wrong type has wildly undefined
results (eg. incompatible source are potentially deleted)
- there is virtually no information for a web user as to what to do with
.properties files
- the zanata.xml should not be provided if it is not compatible with mvn/cli

If all of the above was not intentional, then our project definition and
handling is fundamentally broken and repairing this should be a high priority.
