I sort of remembered there had been something else on this but sent the link I came \
up with.  Rechecking I also came up with this one…

Populating applet text components
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/macosx-port-dev/2012-November/005183.html

Which actually was in response to one of mine. Trying to drag and drop text into an \
applet not working.  The response there indicates changes required in the browsers \
which Scott Kovatch didn't seem to think likely. Still not exactly the answer I \
thought I remembered but another informed answer anyhow.

This google search also turned up this
Bug 588455 - Drag and drop onto Java applet not working
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588455
So maybe this will work Firefox at some point.

I think one thing I had found was that this functionality would work with \
appletviewer. Maybe not a nice solution but if your customer really needs to run this \
applet and has to have drag and drop it might be a work around?
