Can you give me an code example of drag and drop?
Drag and Drop is a powerful feature you should consider adding to your Java applications. When you check out the available tutorials on Java dnd, it may look fairly complex to you. Though it's not all that hard, the hard part is remembering all the steps, objects and listeners involved. Here is a small example that shows you a basic drag and drop application (implemented with Swing).
Our own Drag and Drop (source) JList appears to the right and contains a file list of your root directory. Files with .txt extensions can be dragged upon our own Drag and Drop JTextArea (target). The object transferred (Transferable) is a filename. When the drop occurs (you release the mouse button) the public void drop(DropTargetDropEvent event) is called. You can extract the filename from the Transferable object and go from there.
Main.java
Our drag and drop JTextArea: DNDJTextArea.java
Our drag and drop JList:DNDJList.java
