java.awt.datatransfer Documentation Differences

This file contains all the changes in documentation in the package java.awt.datatransfer as colored differences. Deletions are shown like this, and additions are shown like this.
If no deletions or additions are shown in an entry, the HTML tags will be what has changed. The new HTML tags are shown in the differences. If no documentation existed, and then some was added in a later version, this change is noted in the appropriate class pages of differences, but the change is not shown on this page. Only changes in existing text are shown here. Similarly, documentation which was inherited from another class or interface is not shown here.
Note that an HTML error in the new documentation may cause the display of other documentation changes to be presented incorrectly. For instance, failure to close a <code> tag will cause all subsequent paragraphs to be displayed differently.

Class DataFlavor

Each instance represents the opaque concept of a data format as would appear on a clipboard during drag and drop or in a file system.

DataFlavor objects are constant and never change once instantiated.

Class DataFlavor, DataFlavor getTextPlainUnicodeFlavor()

Returns a DataFlavor representing plain text with Unicode encoding where:
 representationClass = java.io.InputStream mimeType = "text/plain; charset=<platform default Unicode encoding>" 
TheSun's Win32implementation Sunfor Microsoft implementationsWindows use the encoding utf-16le. TheSun's implementation for Solaris and Linux Sun implementations use the encoding iso-10646-ucs-2. @return a DataFlavor representing plain text with Unicode encoding

Class SystemFlavorMap

The SystemFlavorMap is a configurable map between "natives" (Strings) which correspond to platform-specific data formats and "flavors" (DataFlavors) which correspond to platform-independent MIME types. This mapping is used by the data transfer subsystem to transfer data between Java and native applications and between Java applications in separate VMs.

In the Sun reference implementation the default SystemFlavorMap is initialized by the file jre/lib/flavormap.properties and the contents of the URL referenced by the AWT property AWT.DnD.flavorMapFileURL. See flavormap.properties for details. @version 1.27 1228 02/0322/0102 @since 1.2
