Description Hernan Gonzalez

2011-10-19 10:51:50 EDT

Build Identifier: 

I believe this is caused by the way in which Graphiti implements copy/paste, using the Eclipse (SWT) clipboard, and because the copied objects in the clipboad adapt to IFile (or IResource).

Perhaps this should be considered in some more global copy/paste functionality redesign, if deemed appropiate.

Related discussion in the forum: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/246748/737250/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the tutorial, create som some graphical object/s in the Graphical editor and copy it/them.
2. Go to the Navigator (or Project Explorer), with the project or any other element selected, right-click for the context-menu
3. The Paste command is enabled, and when executed it tries to copy the file.

Proposed patch

Only uses FileTransfer and ResourcesTransfer if any of the selected elements can adapt to IFile, or is the only element contained in that IFile.

After having a closer look, I think the clipboard and the copy/paste functionality deserve a clean-up (probably after the Juno release). I have opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=375334 for that.
