The specification for DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor says that
the representation class is input stream.

However, the object returned from a StringSelection
using plainTextFlavor is a StringReader. This leads to all sorts
of class cast exceptions when performing a D&D.

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.StringReader
        at sun.awt.windows.WDragSourceContextPeer.convertData(WDragSourc
        at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.eventLoop(Native Method)
        at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.run(WToolkit.java:123)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:490)

See class java.awt.DataTransfer.StringSelection
    public synchronized Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor)
line 68.

Perhaps you need to two different flavors.
