Paste from System Clipboard

843806Jul 31 2007 — edited Aug 1 2007

Hi,
I've been looking all over on how to copy and paste to/from the system clipboard. I've used the tutorial classes at http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/releases/data/ explaining new data transfer capabilities in java, and it seems that I can copy and paste to/from a java application but I can't seem to paste images from the system clipboard in applications such as Thunderbird and OpenOffice.

I'm not sure what the problem or solution is, but if anyone has any ideas that would be great. I was thinking it may be that in the tutorial it is copying the content of a JComponent to the system clipboard but I'm pretty sure that is not it.

Any help is appreciated.
thanks
