A two-way Map between "natives" (Strings), which correspond to platform-
specific data formats, and "flavors" (DataFlavors), which correspond to
platform-independent MIME types. FlavorMaps need not be symmetric, but
typically are.

Returns a Map of the specified DataFlavors to
their corresponding String native. The returned
Map is a modifiable copy of this FlavorMap's
internal data. Client code is free to modify the Map
without affecting this object.

Params:
  • flavors – an array of DataFlavors which will be the
       key set of the returned Map. If null is
       specified, a mapping of all DataFlavors currently
       known to this FlavorMap to their corresponding
       String natives will be returned.
Returns:a java.util.Map of DataFlavors to
        String natives
