It is my intention to make Windows throw the same exception. Unfortunately, Windows does the action asynchronously so I need to figure out a way to make this happen. |
The following snippet works on win32, but on motif it throws the shown exception: public static void main(String[] args) { Display display = new Display(); Clipboard clipboard = new Clipboard(display); TextTransfer transfer = TextTransfer.getInstance(); clipboard.setContents(new String[]{""}, new Transfer[]{transfer}); } Exception in thread "main" org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Cannot set data in clipboard at org.eclipse.swt.dnd.DND.error(DND.java:225) at org.eclipse.swt.dnd.DND.error(DND.java:181) at org.eclipse.swt.dnd.Clipboard.setContents(Clipboard.java:291)
