I have almost exactly this same issue with my "Parsnips" application. I used Robot to generate a mouse click on the window to activate it.

// Generate a click on the dropWindow to bring the app to the front. Robot robot = new Robot(); robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);

This works because the mouse will be over your app's window when the "drop" occurs.

I've got a Java application which supports a drop interface; that is,
you can drag things off the desktop, or from Safari, and drop them on
this application.  When this happens, the application pops up a panel
that describes the dropped object, allows you to correct the
information (via text entry boxes), and then allows you to press a
button to do something to the dragged object.

However, if I drag something from Safari, the panel pops up, but
doesn't get the focus -- that remains on Safari.  Is there some way,
from Java, to make my application the "active" application?
