Dragging from an eclipse-rendered view does work but the legacy views are problematic

Notes/Domino 8 Forum

Subject:

When documents are dragged from a csi view, like the inbox or the contacts list, the notes URLs of the selected documents are made available to the drop target as text strings. This means its easy to support this type of drag operation, just use a DropTarget with TextTransfer in its transfer list and the result of a drop will be a String array of notes URLs.

When the drag is from a noteswc view, however, this doesn't happen, the drag data is provided in formats for which there is no obvious Transfer class. It is possible to use com.ibm.rcp.swt.dnd.XMLTransfer and this will produce a drop result which is an array of URIDescriptor objects carrying the URLs of the selected documents. This class is marked deprecated however so this is maybe not a long term solution (though you would hope the inconsistency of two different view renderings would not be around in the long term either).
