javax.swing.TransferHandler bugs?
Hi,
Ive been working with drag and drop and Transfer handler, and I noticed that inside the TransferHandler code, when the Drop operation occurs there are catche for a RuntimeExceptions that isnt passed on, so the drag and drop fails, but you are never made aware of why as it is never passed on, just consumed, now If I get some agreeance ill submit this as a bug, unless there is a good explination as to why they arent passed on.
examples follow
publicvoid drop(DropTargetDropEvent e){
TransferHandler importer =
((HasGetTransferHandler)component).getTransferHandler();
if (importer ==null){
e.rejectDrop();
cleanup(false);
return;
}
support.setDNDVariables(component, e);
boolean canImport = importer.canImport(support);
if (canImport){
e.acceptDrop(support.getDropAction());
boolean showLocation = support.showDropLocationIsSet ?
support.showDropLocation :
canImport;
setComponentDropLocation(showLocation ? support : null,false);
boolean success;
try{
success = importer.importData(support);
}catch (RuntimeException re){
success =false;
}
e.dropComplete(success);
cleanup(success);
}else{
e.rejectDrop();
cleanup(false);
}
}
Bot the try catch around success = importer.importData, I believe if there is an exception here, it should be rethrown, and no consumed, and it makes things extremely difficult when you have an exception during a drop, and you are never told.
