| Interface | Description |
|---|---|
| ClipboardOwner |
Defines the interface for classes that will provide data to
a clipboard.
|
| 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.
|
| Transferable |
Defines the interface for classes that can be used to provide data
for a transfer operation.
|
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| Clipboard |
A class that implements a mechanism to transfer data using
cut/copy/paste operations.
|
| 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). |
| 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.
|
| Exception | Description |
|---|---|
| MimeTypeParseException |
A class to encapsulate MimeType parsing related exceptions
|
| UnsupportedFlavorException |
Signals that the requested data is not supported in this flavor.

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.
