    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15499?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12806306#comment-12806306 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-15499:
---------------------------------------------

[~snjeza] which mechanism is it you would use to register DND ? 

Could you potentially grab the already existing DND handler and then just relay the DND to the existing DND if we don't want to handle it ? 

Something like (very much pseudo code):

previous = shell.getDNDHandler()
ours = new OurOwnDNDHandler();
ours.setDelegate(previous)
shell.setDNDHandler(ours);

Then we would get just as much as MPC wouldn't we ?

About bugs - if you drag a marketplace link to project explorer an error occurs in WTP. (I dont have the details on me since it was just mentioned to me in passing by [~nickboldt] and [~pleacu])

> usecase is that you can have a link to a connector, such as JBDS-IS could be installed by drag'n'drop to jboss tools or jbds.
> Similar to eclipse marketplace for marketplace urls something like:
> * https://devstudio.jboss.com/central/install?connector=com.jbds.integration-stack.bpel,org.eclipse.m2e or 
> * http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/central/install?CID=com.jbds.integration-stack.bpel,org.eclipse.m2e
> would install the two connectors named "com.jbds.integration-stack.bpel" and "org.eclipse.m2e"
> This would allow drag'n'drop install from html docs.
> Consider also supporting this from any clipboard object (eg., dragged from an Acrobat Reader PDF or Microsoft Office doc). Would need to ensure we do lots of platform testing.
