While I don't have a snippet or example I can post, I can say we have
done this using both FileTransfer and ByteArrayTransfer so it is possible.

I'm stuck on this too! If anyone has any information about how to resolve
the incompatibility between custom SWT ByteArrayTransfer and custom Swing
DataFlavors, please help us out? My am required to provide a solution to
this very soon and unfortunately I'm also stuck! It's just so tricky to
debug because it either all works or it doesn't... I just keep getting
java.awt.datatransfer.UnsupportedFlavorException also.
Does anyone have a code snippet on how to do this, or know how to declare
a DataFlavor to be compatible with a custom SWT ByteArrayTransfer type? It
sounds like this is causing more than a few people some grief.
Help, please, anyone!
Chris.
