Minimal support for AWT Drag and Drop was added in JDK 1.2 and was further
enhanced in 1.2.2. This provides a gesture based solution, with clear feedback
mechanisms, for copying or moving data (text, graphics, files...) from one
application or directory etc. to another.
In Merlin, Drag and Drop should be further developed and should provide
consistent deadlock-free, support for drag and drop:
between a VM and the native platform
within a VM
between VMs
All supported MIME types should be draggable and the application should be able
to determine the best way to utilize the copied or moved information.
