[how to] accept drags from Task View? [message #279982] Wed, 26 January 2005 11:38 Go to next message

WinXp; R2.1 and 3.0 (still pushing to get the team migrated ...)

Although when I read the code of the Task View and the FAQ's about IMarkers (e.g.,
http://www.eclipsefaq.org/chris/faq/html/faq288.html and references there) I find no reference to
drag-n-drop from the Task View, I found by accident that in 2.1 I can drag a Task into Notepad or
into Mozilla's newsgroup-email composer, and in general into any external app that accepts textual
drops. But that no longer works in 3.0 (although the drag-cursor says it is working, with the little
"plus sign").

It looks like this, from 2.1:

Kind Status Priority Description Resource In Folder Location
Warning The import java.io.IOException is never used XmlType.java
com.foo.bar/src/com/foo/bar/metadata/metamodel/types line 3

But what is the drag-type in Eclipse? I.e., if I wanted to make one of our views or editors accept
drops from the TaskView, what would I have to do? And can this be done in 3.0?

thanks,
Paul

This doesn't currently work due to a bug in the task view:

OK, thanks for the bug-reference.

But I am able to drop from TaskView in 2.1 into Notepad, so, in 2.1 -- what would I use to accept
the drop? I mean, what kind of Transfer or whatever would it be?

thanks,
Paul
