The MRJ drag & drop API might give you something 1.1 and 1.2, the only
reason I'm thinking that though is I believe both it and the clipboard
involve data flavors.
You might throw in the PICT decoder Patrick Beard posted once if you want
support of those.
If you wanted PICT encoding on the other end rather than Java Image that
might be trickier.
I had a somewhat incomplete little method for pasting PICT's into the
clipboard I think at some point I never expanded on. Mostly the code
involved using an offscreen GWorld to handle PICT conversion to and from
images. That part I do use and still needs OS/X porting, I think it will
still be somewhat valid. It was actually cooler when it was buggy and
instead of pasting to the clipboard would draw the images into my console
window. Still JDirect and undoubtedly less complete clipboard support than
what William indicated.
I thought there was talk a ways back about someone having included a pure
java example in some Graphics book, Geary's comes to mind?
