Description Matthias Wienand

Currently, drag and drop is not covered by the gestures provided by GEF.

In order to be able to handle JavaFX drag and drop events within a GEF application (using gesture and handlers), we need to implement a DragDropGesture as well as an IOnDragDropHandler interface (or similar, depending on design).

I've implemented a DragDropGesture and IOnDragDropHandler for my project.  I'll check with the powers that be if I can work it into patch or pull request for someone to review and merge.  I haven't contributed to gef before so I'll have to research the steps...

Hi there,

Are the sources of DragDropGesture and IOnDragDropHandler available somewhere even if not contributed following the full rules ?
