Although bug #4168286 DnD core dump has been solved. There were no solution provided to dropping characters from Native apps. When it contains non-Latin1 strings, like Japanese, nothing is dropped.

From the evaluation of 4168286,

>There are inconsistance of DnD behaviour between Win32 and Solaris now.
>X11-COMPOUND_TEXT is too platform specific and JAVA should abstruct it. On
>Win32, 'charset=ascii' mime type can pass native characterts to Java app.

It's better to support this feature from JavaVM side. So one java apps can run on both platform without mentioning platform specific features.
