Provides interfaces and classes for transferring data between and within
applications. It defines the notion of a "transferable" object, which is an
object capable of being transferred between or within applications. An object
identifies itself as being transferable by implementing the Transferable
interface.
It also provides a clipboard mechanism, which is an object that temporarily
holds a transferable object that can be transferred between or within an
application. The clipboard is typically used for copy and paste operations.
Although it is possible to create a clipboard to use within an application,
most applications will use the system clipboard to ensure the data can be
transferred across applications running on the platform.
Since: 1.1
