I'd like to implement drag-and-drop text editing capability within a
JTextPane or JEditorPane.  An initial stab has raised some problems related
to selection actions and drag actions stepping on each others' toes. (Either
a drag selection is interpreted as a drag or else an attempted drag resets a
text selection.)  Before I waste alot of time working this through, has
anyone done this yet and have some sample code that can make it happen?  (I
can't seem to find any samples of this anywhere!)

Thanks for any help/suggestions.
