(Not sure if this is the right group to ask this question, but I didn't
see an exact match for my topic. If this is the wrong place, I'd
appreciate someone moving this to the right place & telling me where the
right place is!)

The Java editor in Eclipse 3.1 doesn't seem to support standard drag &
drop for text selections. Am I missing something? If Eclipse doesn't
support this feature, is it planned for a future release? If not, how does
one submit feature requests? Drag & drop is such a standard feature in
text editors, I'm shocked that Eclipse seems to lack it.

P.S. I don't mean that I want to write my own editor to to do this. I'm
asking if the standard out-of-the-box Eclipse Java text editor does it.

Dick,

This is the newsgroup for the Visual Editor project. The correct
newsgroup for this question would be eclipse.platform or
eclipse.tools.jdt. But to answer your questions... no, Eclipse does not
support the drag and drop of text within the editor. Here's the feature
request for this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11624
and you can submit other feature requests here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_feature.cgi

Hope this helps,
- Jeff
