[classlib][swing] javax.swing.JComponent is not supposed to be imported by awt

[Alexei Fedotov]

Hello,

I'm currently looking through the swing and awt code to find out what
should be done to make drag and drop work. Today I find out that the
class org.apache.harmony.awt.text.TextUtils contains nearly the same
functionality as javax.swing.TransferHandler [2]. Thanks to Evgeniya
Maenkova! She explained me that AWT cannot reuse
javax.swing.TransferHandler due to referenced javax.swing.JComponent
which is heavy class. I have looked through the dev@ list and couldn't
find that this core principle of our client API was referenced here
before.

Finally I've prepared a patch to remove another existing reference to
JComponent from org.apache.harmony.awt.text.TextUtils [1]. Could
anyone review and commit the patch?

Thanks!

        if (t == null) {
            return false;
        }
        DataFlavor[] flavors = t.getTransferDataFlavors();
