Hi,
I've been working on an application that uses the drag-n-drop features of
Java2. I'm interested in converting it to an applet because it deals with
HTML and the web. Besides security issues, one of the big problems is
getting drag-n-drop. DnD was only added in jdk1.2, and all the browsers
out there seem to only support jdk1.1. The Java Plug-in seems to be
available for winders, but using winders is clearly not an option :). I
even checked out HotJava in the hopes that it would run 1.2 applets, but
HotJava doesn't even run in 1.2. Gotta love Sun.
I've been thinking of ways to get around using DnD, but it's sort of
integral to the way I designed the interface. Argh! I'm going to look
into doing my own pseudo-DnD for intra-JVM transfers (which is all I want
to do anyways). I'll probably have a mouselistener that listens for drag
events and uses some sort of static clipboard class to transfer stuff.
I'm not sure how well this will work, though...
Does anyone have suggestions/ideas/comments?
Thanks,
dstn.
