Hi,

I am wondering if this is a known limitation (or maybe bug?) with
copy/paste behaviour on Linux...

On windows, I can copy a file from eclipse's project explorer, and then
paste it into an external app, such as Windows explorer. On Linux (I'm
using RHEL5), after I copy the file, I cannot paste it into the file
browser because the paste file action is always disabled (dragging a file
from eclipse to the file browser works however).

Thanks,
Andrew

I just tried this and confirmed this to be the case on Fedora 9 with
Eclipse 3.4 (using both the Project Exporer and Package Explorer).
Oddly drag/drop works fine.

You should file a bug about this. Assign it to Platform/UI.
