Hi Sandro,
What Transfer Type are you trying to add? Is there a reason why the
LocalSelectionTransfer (the default version from JFace) wouldn't work in
your scenario?
What are you trying to drag the selection onto? Another editor?
Something else in the Project Explorer viewer?
The handshake between drag and drop adapters is a little subtle.
Basically, the DND support in Eclipse tries to find a TransferType that
both sides can support. So in this case, whatever the thing is you're
trying drop onto is selecting the FileTransfer type. Only then, is your
adapter given the opportunity to actually set the data. You should be
able to setup any Transfer Type you want. The JFace LocalSelection is
handled by default, and with org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources adding
support for FileTransfer and ResourceTransfer. (These must be layered in
to allow the core framework to be RCP compliant while still handling the
90% case for IDE clients).
