## Trail: Drag and Drop

> One day we'll have a trail here. For now, here are some links to resources and examples:

> Swing Data Transfer
>   Tells how to use the drag-and-drop support built into Swing components in v 1.4. Required reading for 1.4 users!

> JavaBeans home page
>   Indirectly links to the Drag and Drop specification; might have other information related to Drag and Drop.

> `SwingDrop.java`
>   A rough example showing plain-text drag-and-drop with a `JTextArea`. Prints diagnostics. This example is obsolete as of v 1.4.

> A Drag and Drop Example by Sheetal Gupta
>   This example contains two `JList`s. You can drag an item from either list and drop it onto the other list. Demonstrates that a single component can be both a Drag Source and a Drop Target. Prints diagnostics. This example is obsolete as of v 1.4. You can also search the Web sites listed in Online Resources for Java Programmers for drag-and-drop articles and examples. If you can recommend any other examples or resources, please tell us.
