Provides interfaces and classes for transferring data
between and within applications. It defines the notion of a
"transferable" object, which is an object capable of being
transferred between or within applications. An object identifies
itself as being transferable by implementing the Transferable
interface.
It also provides a clipboard mechanism, which is an object that
temporarily holds a transferable object that can be transferred
between or within an application. The clipboard is typically used
for copy and paste operations. Although it is possible to create
a clipboard to use within an application, most applications will
use the system clipboard to ensure the data can be transferred
across applications running on the platform.
Interfaces
| ClipboardOwner |
Defines the interface for classes that will provide data to
a clipboard. |
| FlavorListener |
Defines an object which listens for FlavorEvents. |
| FlavorMap |
A two-way Map between "natives" (Strings), which correspond to platform-
specfic data formats, and "flavors" (DataFlavors), which corerspond to
platform-independent MIME types. |
| FlavorTable |
A FlavorMap which relaxes the traditional 1-to-1 restriction of a Map. |
| Transferable |
Defines the interface for classes that can be used to provide data
for a transfer operation. |
Classes
| Clipboard |
A class that implements a mechanism to transfer data using
cut/copy/paste operations. |
| DataFlavor |
A DataFlavor provides meta information about data. |
| FlavorEvent |
FlavorEvent is used to notify interested parties
that available DataFlavors have changed in the
Clipboard (the event source). |
| StringSelection |
A Transferable which implements the capability required
to transfer a String. |
| SystemFlavorMap |
The SystemFlavorMap is a configurable map between "natives" (Strings), which
correspond to platform-specific data formats, and "flavors" (DataFlavors),
which correspond to platform-independent MIME types. |
