[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Drag&Drop question

["Boris Bokowski" <boris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is it possible to turn a drag handled by a DragEditPartsTracker into a 
(native) drag and drop operation?

In my GEF editor, I want to be able to move shapes around, but at the same 
time, I would like to be able to drag shapes out of my editor into a drop 
target, for example a JFace table viewer.

My current solution requires the user to press the shift key before starting 
a drag&drop operation. If you implement DragSourceListener.dragStart() such 
that it sets event.doit to false when the shift key is not pressed, the drag 
will be handled as a normal move request. I'm not very happy with this 
solution since it's not intuitive for the users to press the shift key 
before starting a cross-editor drag.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Boris.
