Uses of Class
java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor

Packages that use DataFlavor
java.awt.datatransfer Provides interfaces and classes for transferring data between and within applications. 
java.awt.dnd Drag and Drop is a direct manipulation gesture found in many Graphical User Interface systems that provides a mechanism to transfer information between two entities logically associated with presentation elements in the GUI. 
javax.swing Provides a set of "lightweight" (all-Java language) components that, to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms. 
 

Uses of DataFlavor in java.awt.datatransfer
 

Fields in java.awt.datatransfer declared as DataFlavor
static DataFlavor DataFlavor.stringFlavor

static DataFlavor DataFlavor.imageFlavor
          The DataFlavor representing a Java Image class, where:
static DataFlavor DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor
          Deprecated. as of 1.3. Use DataFlavor.getReaderForText( Transferable) instead of Transferable. getTransferData(DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor).
static DataFlavor DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor
          To transfer a list of files to/from Java (and the underlying platform) a DataFlavor of this type/subtype and representation class of java.util.List is used.
