If you are talking about running this in a JDK 1.1 enabled browser, then 
I do not think it is possible.  It should be possible using the drag and 
drop APIs that were added in JDK 1.2, but you would have to use the Java 
plugin for that.

This should work with plain old AWT components, but I am guessing that 
the reason you want to limit yourself to AWT is so that you can run with 
JDK 1.1 enabled browsers.  In that case, you are out of luck.

Note that there are some problems using drag and drop in some 
environments.  I cannot tell you what all of the problems are, but it 
seems that Sun is still working out the kinks.
