Re: [jdt-ui-dev] Drag and Drop of .class files from Package Explorer

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This limitation has more negative effects
than expected.  For example, "focus on.." in the hierarchy
view can be done with DND drop of a type.  But, not for Types in JARs.
 GUI builders and other bean related editors like JSP probably want
DND enabled for types in JARs.

It seems like DRAG_LINK, or whatever
it's called, should be enabled for elements in JARs.  "Focus
on.." should probably be a link operation, if it isn't already.

Felix,

currently there is nothing you can do, except of filing a PR against
JDT/UI. The
package explorer doesn't support dragging elements out of a Jars.

I know this is not a forum to ask questions, but I already tried the
newsgroups without success.
This is my last hope so please bear with me. Thanks!

I am working on a GEF application that supports drag and drop of Java
classes from the Package Explorer. With source code (.java files) this
works fine, but when I try to drag a compiled class (.class from a JAR
withtin a project) it seems that the drag doesn't even get initiated. It
is
possibly, however, to open .class file within an Editor (e.g. with a
doubleclick).

Therefore my question: is it possibly to initiate a drag for a .class file
(my goal is to obtain an IType)? If not, could I get some hints as to how
this could be done?
