All,

I have a requirement to DND objects from an editor in one eclipse.exe to
another. Both of the editors are GEF editors. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you,

Harsh

Hi,

I think your requirement equals to drag from a GEF editor and drop to
another.
What you need to do is add DragSourceListener to your drag source editor
and add DropTargetListener including CreationFactory in it to target
editor.

But how is he going to switch from GEF drag to native drag?

The other issue is when the drag starts in one editor, since it's also the
drop target listener, it gets invoked. Somehow, I have to ignore this
because regular moving of the objects within the editor get disabled.

Has anybody else implemented this? If I am not clear, please let me know.

I've seen this same issue = adding native DnD to a GEF editor disables
normal GEF movement. Has anyone figured this out?
