D-n-D or Clipboard Copy/Paste files: Java App to MS Outlook Attachment

807588Mar 27 2009 — edited Apr 8 2009
I hava a JTree populated with files and directories from an area of our file server. I have both the file name and the full path to each file.

I need to either drag-n-drop or copy/paste via system clipboard one file from the JTree onto a new e-mail message in MSOutlook as an attachment. Eventually, I'd like to also drag-n-drop or copy/paste a message from MSOutlook onto my JTree.

Everything I'm reading says it can't be done natively, because MSOutlook needs to receive the new attachment message via COM ?? ( I'm just repeating that, I don't actually know), although some are saying this will be built into the next version of Java..

Does anyone have a method of doing this now, or a open-source or < $200 ( not per-user ) solution that would specifically address the above scenarios?

ANY help would be appreciated!!!!!!!
