Package org.openide.util.datatransfer Description

The IDE uses special extensions to data transfer. The primary extensions to the Java Data Transfer API are that:

• The clipboard supports Java Events for content changes.
• Convertors may be used to externally add support for additional data flavors to a transferable. They may be installed using a special module section.
• It is possible to transfer multiple objects (of different types) at once using a special transfer type.
