Eclipse Platform
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.ui.part
Class ResourceTransfer


java.lang.Object
  extended by 

org.eclipse.swt.dnd.Transfer
      extended by 

org.eclipse.swt.dnd.ByteArrayTransfer
          extended by 
org.eclipse.ui.part.ResourceTransfer

public class ResourceTransfer
extends ByteArrayTransfer

The ResourceTransfer class is used to transfer an array of IResourcess from one part to another in a drag and drop operation or a cut, copy, paste action.

In every drag and drop operation there is a DragSource and a DropTarget. When a drag occurs a Transfer is used to marshall the drag data from the source into a byte array. If a drop occurs another Transfer is used to marshall the byte array into drop data for the target.

When a CutAction or a CopyAction is performed, this transfer is used to place references to the selected resources on the Clipboard. When a PasteAction is performed, the references on the clipboard are used to move or copy the resources to the selected destination.

This class can be used for a Viewer or an SWT component directly. A singleton is provided which may be serially reused (see getInstance). It is not intended to be subclassed.

See Also:
StructuredViewer, DropTarget, DragSource
Restriction:
This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.
