Is there a difference between mimetype, contenttype and mediatype? (Java's JAX-RS MediaType).

From the wikipedia article i gathered that it's only a content-type in the context of e.g. HTTP requests as a field in a request's header: So are these just synonyms or are there any actual semantic differences between the different terms?
