Drag and Drop
Drag and Drop enables data transfer across
Java programming language and
native applications, between Java programming language
applications, and within a single Java programming language
application.
Support for drag and drop is implemented primarily in the AWT
package, but there is additional support built in to the Swing GUI
classes. In many cases, drag and drop support can be enabled by
calling a single method on a Swing component. For more information,
please see How
to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer, a section in The Swing
Tutorial
