public class PluginTransfer extends ByteArrayTransfer
This class can be used to transfer an instance ofPluginTransferData
between two parts in a workbench in a drag and drop operation.In every drag and drop operation there is a
DragSource
and aDropTarget
. When a drag occurs aTransfer
is used to marshall the drag data from the source into a byte array. If a drop occurs anotherTransfer
is used to marshall the byte array into drop data for the target.A
PluginTransferData
contains the id of a drop action extension. If a drop occurs the extension is invoked to perform a drop action. As a benefit, the destination viewer doesn't need to have any knowledge of the items being dropped into it.This class can be used for a
Viewer
or an SWT component directly. A singleton is provided which may be serially reused (seegetInstance
). It is not intended to be subclassed.- See Also:
