Drag & Drop in GEF [message #198560]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement D&D functionality from package explorer to my GEF
diagram. I'm following the article in :
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-dnd/GEF-dnd.html and somehow I'm
getting following exception when I'm dragging a file from package explorer
to the diagram:

This exception comes immeaditely when the mouse enters the diagram area.
What is going wrong?

The following code in the article :

getGraphicalViewer().addDropTargetListener(
new FileTransferDropTargetListener(getGraphicalViewer()));should be
replaced with:

getGraphicalViewer().addDropTargetListener(
new
FileTransferDropTargetListener(getGraphicalViewer(),FileTran sfer.getInstance()));

Article that describes D&D functionality is using methods that are
deprecated. How should it be done to be done properly?
Or there is no other way of doing this just the one described in article?

Cheers, Greg

The javadoc of the deprecated methods mentions which methods should be used
instead. They have the same name.
