Interface Summary

Autoscroll	During DnD operations it is possible that a user may wish to drop the subject of the operation on a region of a scrollable GUI control that is not currently visible to the user.
DragGestureListener	This interface is sourced from a DragGestureRecognizer and is invoked when an object of that (sub)class detects a Drag and Drop initiating gesture.
DragSourceListener	The DragSourceListener defines the event interface for originators of Drag and Drop operations to track the state of the users gesture to provide the appropriate feedback to the user.
DropTargetListener	The DropTargetListener interface is the callback interface used by the DropTarget class to provide notification of DnD operations that involve the subject DropTarget.

Class Summary

DnDConstants
DragGestureEvent	A DragGestureEvent is passed to a DragGestureListener via its gestureRecognized() method when a particular DragGestureRecognizer detects a platform dependent Drag and Drop action initiating gesture has occurred on the Component it is tracking.
DragGestureRecognizer	The DragGestureRecognizer is an abstract base class for the specification of a platform-dependent listener that can be associated with a particular Component in order to identify platform-dependent drag and drop action initiating gestures.
DragSource	The DragSource class is a small class responsible for originating a Drag and Drop gesture.
DragSourceContext	The DragSourceContext class is responsible for managing the initiator side of the Drag and Drop protocol.
DragSourceDragEvent	The DragSourceDragEvent is delivered from the DragSourceContextPeer, via the DragSourceContext, to the currently registered DragSourceListener.
DragSourceDropEvent	The DragSourceDropEvent is delivered from the DragSourceContextPeer, via the DragSourceContext, to its currently registered DragSourceListener.
DragSourceEvent	base class for DragSourceDragEvent and DragSourceDropEvent
DropTarget	The DropTarget is associated with a Component, when that Component wishes to accept Drops during Drag and Drop operations.
DropTarget.DropTargetAutoScroller	this protected nested class implements autoscrolling
DropTargetContext	A DropTargetContext is created whenever the logical cursor associated with a Drag and Drop operation coincides with the visibel geometry of a Component, with an associated DropTarget.
DropTargetDragEvent	The DropTargetDragEvent is delivered to a DropTargetListener via its dragEnter() and dragOver().
DropTargetDropEvent	The DropTargetDropEvent is delivered via the DropTargetListener drop() method.
DropTargetEvent	The DropTargetEvent is the base class for both the DropTargetDragEvent and The DropTargetDropEvent.
MouseDragGestureRecognizer	This abstract subclass of DragGestureRecognizer defines a DragGestureRecognizer for Mouse based gestures.
