Wouldn't you just do something along the lines of:
DragSourceListener dragSourceListener = new DragSourceListener()
{...implement...}
DragGestureListener dragGestureListener = new DragGestureListener)
{...implement...}
DragSource dragSource = new DragSource();
DragGestureRecognizer dragGestureRecognizer =
dragSource.createDefaultDragGestureRecognizer(jTextComponent,
DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE, dragGestureListener);
etc etc.

I agree DnD in the structure view would be great. I'm usually a keyboard
cut 'n' paste person.. but, sometimes I don't want to learn a whole
new set of keyboard short cuts, and the mouse is quicker. I'm not
talking about CTRL-[CVX] I mean keyboard short cuts for selecting a word,
line, block - selecting till the next ',', ';', next occurence of 'this'
etc. It's easier to use the mouse.

Drag'n'Drop is definitely possible. But, from Intellij's point of
view, if they're not planning till implement this till JDK1.4 comes out,
they may as well not bother at all. With 1.4 they will simply call
jTextComponent.setDragEnabled(true);
Job done! (see
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/releases/data/)
For you guys wanting to know how to do Drag 'n' Drop now, I'd highly
recommend this free book chapter from O'Reilley:
