Description Knut Radloff CLA 2003-06-10 16:46:56 EDT 
build 20030605

PasteAction.updateSelection checks whether there is a valid paste target after 
getting the clipboard contents. The paste target check does not involve the 
clipboard content and should therefore be done earlier, before reading the 
clipboard.

The method also reads the FileTransfer data from the clipboard to check if the 
paste action should be enabled if there is no resource data. It does not 
actually use the file data. The new Clipboard.getAvailableTypes API should be 
used instead.

When an open project is pasted the selected paste target is irrelevant (since 
the workspace is the target, regardless of selection). Therefore we still get 
the Clipboard resource data to test for projects. However for FileTransfer 
(paste from file system/Windows Explorer) we now use the new getAvailableTypes 
API instead of getting the clipboard data. This should no longer block bug 
38952.
