/**
 *
 * <code>DragSource</code> defines the source object for a drag and drop transfer.
 *
 * <p>IMPORTANT: This class is <em>not</em> intended to be subclassed.</p>
 *  
 * <p>A drag source is the object which originates a drag and drop operation. For the specified widget, 
 * it defines the type of data that is available for dragging and the set of operations that can 
 * be performed on that data.  The operations can be any bit-wise combination of DND.MOVE, DND.COPY or 
 * DND.LINK.  The type of data that can be transferred is specified by subclasses of Transfer such as 
 * TextTransfer or FileTransfer.  The type of data transferred can be a predefined system type or it 
 * can be a type defined by the application.  For instructions on how to define your own transfer type,
 * refer to <code>ByteArrayTransfer</code>.</p>
 *
 * <p>You may have several DragSources in an application but you can only have one DragSource 
 * per Control.  Data dragged from this DragSource can be dropped on a site within this application 
 * or it can be dropped on another application such as an external Text editor.</p>
 * 
 * <p>The application supplies the content of the data being transferred by implementing the
 * <code>DragSourceListener</code> and associating it with the DragSource via DragSource#addDragListener.</p>
 * 
 * <p>When a successful move operation occurs, the application is required to take the appropriate 
 * action to remove the data from its display and remove any associated operating system resources or
 * internal references.  Typically in a move operation, the drop target makes a copy of the data 
 * and the drag source deletes the original.  However, sometimes copying the data can take a long 
 * time (such as copying a large file).  Therefore, on some platforms, the drop target may actually 
 * move the data in the operating system rather than make a copy.  This is usually only done in 
 * file transfers.  In this case, the drag source is informed in the DragEnd event that a
 * DROP_TARGET_MOVE was performed.  It is the responsibility of the drag source at this point to clean 
 * up its displayed information.  No action needs to be taken on the operating system resources.</p>
 *
 * <p> The following example shows a Label widget that allows text to be dragged from it.</p>
 * 
 * <code><pre>
 *	// Enable a label as a Drag Source
 *	Label label = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
 *	// This example will allow text to be dragged
 *	Transfer[] types = new Transfer[] {TextTransfer.getInstance()};
 *	// This example will allow the text to be copied or moved to the drop target
 *	int operations = DND.DROP_MOVE | DND.DROP_COPY;
 *	
 *	DragSource source = new DragSource (label, operations);
 *	source.setTransfer(types);
 *	source.addDragListener (new DragSourceListener() {
 *		public void dragStart(DragSourceEvent e) {
 *			// Only start the drag if there is actually text in the
 *			// label - this text will be what is dropped on the target.
 *			if (label.getText().length() == 0) {
 *				event.doit = false;
 *			}
 *		};
 *		public void dragSetData (DragSourceEvent event) {
 *			// A drop has been performed, so provide the data of the 
 *			// requested type.
 *			// (Checking the type of the requested data is only 
 *			// necessary if the drag source supports more than 
 *			// one data type but is shown here as an example).
 *			if (TextTransfer.getInstance().isSupportedType(event.dataType)){
 *				event.data = label.getText();
 *			}
 *		}
 *		public void dragFinished(DragSourceEvent event) {
 *			// A Move operation has been performed so remove the data
 *			// from the source
 *			if (event.detail == DND.DROP_MOVE)
 *				label.setText("");
 *		}
 *	});
 * </pre></code>
