Hey, coders. Check out the FileDrop library for doing file drag-and-drop:
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/filedrop/ The code is unlicensed and can be repackaged and used anywhere It's almost trivial to use - with one class FileDrop you can respond to file drop events on any Swing component. It took me literally 5 minutes to implement file dropping in the JTS TestBuilder, using this code: private void initFileDrop(Component comp) { new FileDrop(comp, new FileDrop.Listener() { public void filesDropped(java.io.File[] files) { try { openXmlFilesAndDirectories(files); } catch (Exception ex) { reportException(null, ex); } } }); } With this, I can see adding file dropping in two places in OJ: - dropping onto a Task (Project) window would load the dataset(s) into that Task - dropping onto the top OJ frame would create a new task and load the dataset(s) into it This is a perfect example of where modularizing into View and Model is important. The file loading/task creation code should be in the model module, where it can be called from many different view gestures (menu items and drop events, in this case). Anyone keen to give this a go? -- Martin Davis Senior Technical Architect Refractions Research, Inc.
