EVALUATION Yes, we should make this a System property and document it in JComponent: /** * Sets the <code>transferHandler</code> property, * which is <code>null</code> if the component does * not support data transfer operations. * <p> * If <code>newHandler</code> is not null, and the system property * <code>suppressSwingDropSupport</code> is not true, this will * install a <code>DropTarget</code> on the <code>JComponent</code>. * * @param newHandler mechanism for transfer of data to * and from the component * * @see TransferHandler * @see getTransferHandler * @since 1.4 * @beaninfo * bound: true * hidden: true * description: Mechanism for transfer of data to and from the component */ public void setTransferHandler(TransferHandler newHandler); scott.violet@eng 2001-07-30
