FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
DropTargetDragEvent.acceptDrag(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY) doesn't work
This line doesn't achieve anything.

By holding down ctrl the copy icon appears, however the above line should make the copy icon appear without having to hold down ctrl.
Leaving out the above line in the code makes no difference to the outcome.
Users are lead to believe they can't drop, when in fact they can drop by copying.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run code
highlight and drag text

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
the icon to look like the copy icon
ACTUAL -
the icon looks like the can't drop icon

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
