It also provides a clipboard mechanism, which is an object that temporarily holds a transferable object that can be transferred between or within an application. The clipboard is typically used for copy and paste operations. Although it is possible to create a clipboard to use within an application, most applications will use the system clipboard to ensure the data can be transferred across applications running on the platform.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| Clipboard | A class that implements a mechanism to transfer data using cut/copy/paste operations. |
| ClipboardOwner | Defines the interface for classes that will provide data to a clipboard. |
| DataFlavor | A DataFlavor provides meta information about data. |
| FlavorEvent | FlavorEvent is used to notify interested parties that available DataFlavors have changed in the Clipboard (the event source). |
| FlavorListener | Defines an object which listens for FlavorEvents. |
| FlavorMap | A two-way Map between "natives" (Strings), which correspond to platform-specific data formats, and "flavors" (DataFlavors), which correspond to platform-independent MIME types. |
| FlavorTable | A FlavorMap which relaxes the traditional 1-to-1 restriction of a Map. |
| MimeTypeParseException | A class to encapsulate MimeType parsing related exceptions. |
| StringSelection | A Transferable which implements the capability required to transfer a String. |
| 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. |
| Transferable | Defines the interface for classes that can be used to provide data for a transfer operation. |
| UnsupportedFlavorException | Signals that the requested data is not supported in this flavor. |
