Class FileDropBean

java.lang.Object
  net.iharder.dnd.FileDropBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class FileDropBean
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

If you wish to use the FileDrop package as a JavaBean, this class will act as an interface to the FileDrop class that handles all the dirty work. After instantiating the bean, add components as drop targets using the addFileDropTarget(...) method. If the component is a Container, then all elements contained within will be marked as a drop target as well. Using the FileDrop technique manually in your code will give you more options.

I'm releasing this code into the Public Domain. Enjoy.
