Interface DragAndDropHandler<D>

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Prioritized>, Contextual, HandlerPlugin<D>, HasPluginInfo, Identifiable, Locatable, Logged, Prioritized, RichPlugin, SciJavaPlugin, SingletonPlugin, Typed<D>, TypedPlugin<D>, Versioned

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDragAndDropHandler, FileDragAndDropHandler, ListDragAndDropHandler, ScriptFileDragAndDropHandler

public interface DragAndDropHandler<D>
extends HandlerPlugin<D>

Interface for drag-and-drop handlers. A drag-and-drop handler defines behavior for drag-and-drop operations with respect to a specific sort of objects.

Drag-and-drop handlers discoverable at runtime must implement this interface and be annotated with @Plugin with attribute Plugin.type() = DragAndDropHandler.class. While it possible to create a drag-and-drop handler merely by implementing this interface, it is encouraged to instead extend AbstractDragAndDropHandler, for convenience.
