Hi,
if you are using jdk1.1.x: i dont think drag n drop is implemented. you have
also not mentioned whether you are dragging items intra-component or
inter-component;

assuming the later, in your situation what i would do is:

//This is just a code to direct you - may not work "as is"; you may have to
tweak n trim here and there
//Step1. declare two components as memebers
Object source, target;
boolean bMousePressed=false;

//Step2: capture mousePressed of source
sourceComponent.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        bMousePressed=true;
        source = e.getSource();
    }
});

//Step3: capture mouseRelease in target
tgtComponent.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
        if (bMousePressed) {
            target = e.getSource();
            // what ever you want to do
        }
    }
});

it is said the jdk1.2 supports dragndrop but no idea how far and how good
Goodluck
