I asked this a few weeks ago but unfortunately nobody followed up on it,
so here goes my second attempt :). Unfortunately digging deeper did not
reveal any new experiences.
Hi Gurus,
Short:
- How can I *copy* resources instead of moving them (I know DND.DROP_COPY)?
- What Transfer do I have to use to be able to drag Java Resources
(IJavaElements, e.g. IType, ICompilationUnit, etc.) from the package
explorer over to a GEF editor?
Longer:
I am currently struggling with GEF's drag and drop. I have read the
article "Using Native Drag and Drop with GEF"
( http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-dnd/GEF-dnd.html) and
adopted it to our code. Dragging over filenames works just fine. What
I actually want to do is to be able to drag Java Resources
(IJavaElements, e.g. IType, ICompilationUnit, etc.) over to our GEF
editor. So I found ResourceTransfer and adopted the code to use that (I
also found a JavaElementTransfer which (name) seems even better but that
was in a package with "internal" in its name so I guess I better don't
use it(?)). Problem is now, whenever I drag from the package explorer
to the GEF editor, the resource is *moved*, not copied. I can say
getCurrentEvent().detail = DND.DROP_COPY;
in either or both handleDragOver() and handleDrop(), it doesn't matter.
I have found the thread
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.gef/msg0 1419.html
and there Eric Bordeau writes that putting DND.DROP_COPY in the detail
field ensures that the resource is copied. But that doesn't work for
me. I am using the M5 eclipse milestone together with GEF from January,
13th on Linux GTK. Maybe things are broken with these versions?
Second questions is how to drag Java Resources from a package explorer
to a GEF editor. Is there only ResourceTransfer? If so, is there a
better way than walking down the JDT model to map IResources to
IJavaElements? Some IJavaElement.mapResourceToJavaElement() method I
overlooked?
advTHANKSance, Thomas.

That sounds like an eclipse.tools.jdt question to me.

What if you hold down CONTROL modifier while dragging?

Does it work properly on windows?

Thanks for following up Randy. After having pushed the send button I
had the same idea :). I posted it there, too, but no response, yet.

No difference.

Unfortunately I have to wait until Wednesday to check this because I do
not have any Windows boxes here.
