So both Apple (with 1.4) and Sun (with 1.5) have now added automatic String drop support to all JTextFields. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way to get notification that a string has been dropped on a text field. There is no support for a ChangeListener, the ActionListener isn't notified, the text field doesn't gain focus and I can't differentiate DocumentListener changes from those made by updating the text field or performing edits on the text field.

The only solution that I see, that I hate, is that I could override the default textfield DropTarget on all text fields to catch the drop () myself. Any good Swing solution that I'm missing? Does everyone (anyone? :-) else handle text field string drops correctly in their apps?
