Description
With the introduction of the DnD support in Swing JComponent.setTransferHandler registers Actions directly in the JComponent's ActionMap.  This is something that we have said we won't do as these ActionMaps are meant for the developer to use.  In order for the UIs to register the Action the Actions need to be public.

EVALUATION We can accomodate this by adding the following to TransferHandler: /** * Returns an <code>Action</code> that behaves like a 'cut' operation. * That is, this will invoke <code>exportToClipboard</code> with * a <code>MOVE</code> argument on the <code>TransferHandler</code> * associated with the <code>JComponent</code> that is the source of * the <code>ActionEvent</code>. * * @return cut Action */ public static Action getCutAction(); /** * Returns an <code>Action</code> that behaves like a 'copy' operation. * That is, this will invoke <code>exportToClipboard</code> with * a <code>COPY</code> argument on the <code>TransferHandler</code> * associated with the <code>JComponent</code> that is the source of * the <code>ActionEvent</code>. * * @return cut Action */ public static Action getCopyAction(); /** * Returns an <code>Action</code> that behaves like a 'paste' operation. * That is, this will invoke <code>importData</code> on the * <code>TransferHandler</code> * associated with the <code>JComponent</code> that is the source of * the <code>ActionEvent</code>. * * @return cut Action */ public static Action getPasteAction(); scott.violet@eng 2001-05-17
