Description Grant Gayed CLA 2010-12-10 11:25:31 EST 
- 3.7M4 test build
- OS field is currently marked as AIX Motif, but it should change to AIX GTK once this value is added to Bugzilla
- works on 32-bit AIX GTK

- drag a java class in the Package Explorer
- the drag appears to work, but when you go to drop it it always fails (the drag icon runs back to its source)

We investigated this today and we've come to the conclusion that it is not an SWT bug. It seems to be a bug with the GTK AIX 64 port. The 32 bit port works fine. The drop target events are never delivered to SWT from the X server.

We are attaching a simple C snippet that illustrates this problem with only native code. We have not been able to find a workaround for this.

SWT no longer provides AIX builds.
