Re: Drag and Drop API in GWT 2.4

Thank you Thomas. I will try your suggestion of AbsolutePanel within a
FocusPanel. I suppose the container FocusPanel receives the drop
(mouse) events that actually occur within the child AbsolutePanel.

I am also intrigued by your comment on gwt-dnd. It does look promising
for our requirements. Thanks to Allen Sauer. I got the impression that
GWT 2.4 is natively trying to support the same functionality offered
by gwt-dnd. I noticed Allen Sauer joined Google's DND team/project.
(What is your plan Allen?)

Again, thank you Thomas for your helpful reply!
