Configuring a custom Drag and Drop listener

Sometimes it is useful to perform various operations when certain objects are dropped from outside sources in the editing area. You can choose from three interfaces to implement depending on whether you are using the framework with the Eclipse plugin or the standalone version of the application or if you want to add the handler for the Text or Author modes.

Note: The Javadoc documentation of the Author API used in the example files is available on the Oxygen XML Author website. Also it can be downloaded as a zip archive from the website.
