General Information

This plugin provides drag-and-drop support for jEdit. It requires jEdit 2.6pre9 (or better) running on java 1.2 (or better).

No special configuration is necessary to use this plugin. Once DragAndDrop.jar has been copied to your jEdit 'jars' directory (and jEdit has been restarted), you should immediately be able to open files by dragging them from your file system and dropping them onto the text-entry area of the jEdit application or insert text by dragging a selection over.

Limitations

Currently, this plugin does not function on Linux systems. This is being looked into.

Change Log

Version 0.2.3

Dragging onto split edit areas now works properly. It will no longer, however, activate the dropped file if it happened to already be opened.
Ability to drag highlighted text from a web browser or word processing application into active buffer
at current cursor position (only pastes basic ASCII characters).

Version 0.2.2

Now, selected text (and other non-file drags) will be displayed as "undroppable" when dragged over the jedit text area
drop() reimplemented to fix various problems.
