Hello,

Any plans to add Drag 'n' Drop support?  I don't just mean between
applications as you can easily say  "use the clipboard", but how about
drag 'n' drop for selected text.  I often prefer using this method to
rearrange methods, comments, fields etc.

It may also be nice (nicer?) to allow drag 'n' drop in the project
structure, this could do automatic/prompted refactoring when moving
methods from one class to another.  But, more simply, it would be a
basic way of reordering things in the source file (I know people have
already requested automatic sorting by public/private/package scope's, I
don't require or want that, I'd just like to be able to code a stream of
consciousness into various methods then rearrange them into an
appropriate order when I'm done.... drag'n'drop helps me do this without
screwing up my thought processes.)

Thanks for showing the world how to do refactoring (someone pointed out
JBuilder's next version has refactorings... I also see that Omnicore's
CodeGuide is providing some competition - though it has to be said, IDEA
seems to have a good lead on both of them.)

Cheers,

Ash

PS.  In case Drag'n'drop support is already there... it's never seemed
to work for me: jdk1.3.1_01 W2k.  many builds (currently #535.)  I see
the API for Drag'n'drop is supposed to be much improved on 1.4... are
you going to support it when 1.4 final comes out?  Basic DnD seems
incredibly easy in 1.4:
