Just thinking about this a little further there is an advantage to the drag and drop to prop panel vs right click in explorer. Maybe it's worth my persevering.
For example if I wanted to create a generalization with class A as the specialization of class B I can select class B in the explorer and then drag class A from the explorer to the specializations box of class B. So I know in which direction the generalization will be formed. With the explorer only I can select class A and class B then rightclick->CreateModelElement->CreateGeneralization. With this the generalization is created but which will be the specialized class and which will be the generalized class. It depends on the order of selection in the tree but that's not clear to the user. For associations and dependencys I prefer to right click on the tree. For things like generalization I think the drag is more useful. What do others think about the usability of these features? Should we keep both? Bob.

I spent quite some time trying to get the drag mechanism working from the explorer to the JList in the prop panel but I'm now thinking of backing this out before the next release. I've found a few nasty side effects due to the changes I made in ExplorerTree and DnDExplorerTree and I'm concerned there may be more lurking. I'll revert these back to there original state before I started at some time tomorrow. The alternative I've come up with of simply allowing the users to select 1 or more items in the explorer and providing popup menu options seems a lot simpler. Bob.
