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);
