This sounds great! :-) I've also recently bumped into this Squiggle limitation and thought that drag&drop support would be most convenient. I had thought about using the whole document canvas as a drop location but I believe using the location bar only (your suggestion) makes the behavior a bit more self-contained and this might be better: for example, the document canvas as drop location is used, in some applications, to embed external content so it might users may be confused (?) on what dropping over an existing document will do. I've checked requirements and dependencies seem to beavailable since Java 1.2, so it seems aligned with current pre-requisites (apparently 1.4 as 1.3 support was recently dropped [2]). It would surely be a simple and useful enhancement for Squiggle! ;-) Finally, although I'm not familiar with "dnd" package, I'd suggest using "DnDConstants.ACTION_LINK" [3] (or "DnDConstants.ACTION_REFERENCE") instead of "DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY" - in fact, it's what we'll be doing (open the dragged&dropped document, not pasting its contents).
