public abstract class DragGestureRecognizer extends Object implements Serializable
The DragGestureRecognizer is an abstract base class for the specification of a platform-dependent listener that can be associated with a particular Component in order to identify platform-dependent drag initiating gestures.
The appropriate DragGestureRecognizer subclass instance is obtained from the DragSource associated with a particular Component, or from the Toolkit object via its createDragGestureRecognizer() method.
Once the DragGestureRecognizer is associated with a particular Component it will register the appropriate listener interfaces on that Component in order to track the input events delivered to the Component.
Once the DragGestureRecognizer identifies a sequence of events on the Component as a drag initiating gesture, it will notify its unicast DragGestureListener by invoking its gestureRecognized() method.
When a concrete DragGestureRecognizer instance detects a drag initiating gesture on the Component it is associated with, it fires a DragGestureEvent to the DragGestureListener registered on its unicast event source for DragGestureListener events. This DragGestureListener is responsible for causing the associated DragSource to start the Drag and Drop operation (if appropriate).

public DragSource getDragSource()
This method returns the DragSource this DragGestureRecognizer will use in order to process the Drag and Drop operation.
public Component getComponent()
This method returns the Component that is to be "observed" by the DragGestureRecognizer for drag initiating gestures.
public void setComponent(Component c)
set the Component that the DragGestureRecognizer is associated with registerListeners() and unregisterListeners() are called as a side effect as appropriate.

This method sets the permitted source drag action(s) for this Drag and Drop operation.

Listeners registered on the Component by this Recognizer shall record all Events that are recognized as part of the series of Events that go to comprise a Drag and Drop initiating gesture via this API.
This method is used by a DragGestureRecognizer implementation to add an InputEvent subclass (that it believes is one in a series of events that comprise a Drag and Drop operation) to the array of events that this DragGestureRecognizer maintains internally.
awtie - the InputEvent to add to this DragGestureRecognizer's internal array of events. Note that null is not a valid value, and will be ignored.
