* and drop interaction within a single view. This is how one of these adapters is typically hooked
* up:
*
* <pre>
* viewer.addDragSupport
* (DND.DROP_COPY | DND.DROP_MOVE | DND.DROP_LINK,
* new Transfer [] { LocalTransfer.getInstance() },
* ViewerDragAdapter(viewer));
* </pre>
*
* Doing so simply allows a drag operation to be initiated from the viewer such that the viewer's
* selection is transferred to the drop target. See {@link EditingDomainViewerDropAdapter} and
* {@link LocalTransfer} for more details.
