We have a Tree that is the target for a drop event. Sometimes the users drop into the rows at the bottom of the tree. In this case, we receive a DropTargetEvent event where the event.item is null. While the user is mousing over the tree we are trying to provide feedback for the drop. When the user drops into the rows at the bottom of the tree, we will insert at the end of the tree, so we would like to show insert feedback there while the user mouses over it. Setting the feedback to DND.FEEDBACK_INSERT_AFTER doesn't work in this situation. We found a workaround which is to set the event.x and event.y to something within the bounds of the last item. This causes the feedback to display appropriately. However, this violates the documentation in DropTargetListener.dragOver, which specifies that x and y are fields for reading only. Despite the documentation, this works on all platforms we tested. (Mac, Linux, Windows) We also set the event.item to be the last item in our tree, but this doesn't seem to affect the feedback one way or the other. We request that support for this existing behavior be documented in DropTargetListener. (use of x and y for writing)

As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
