I have an arrayList of 'NetworkItems' that include attributes like IP
address, priorities, count statistics etc.  I am using the JTableModel
to populate a table with a simple visual representation as a single
IconImage per 'networkItem'.

The question is, drag and drop... how do I do it?  I have obtained
some drag and drop tutorials from the Sun tutorial page, and from
javaworld.com, but am still experiencing 'novice' difficulties. 

Firstly, all demo's seem to revert to 'text' transfers, I guess I want
to transfer the actual 'networkItem' that the user drags from one cell
into another cell.  Is this possible?  

It's also possible that the user can drag one icon from the table into
a dialog window, or almost any other component that I decide should
receive the 'NetworkItem'.

If anyone has other resources, that would be great, I currently have
javaworlds tutorial, part I and part II.  Sun tutorial part I
(couldn't find part II).

Your help is appreciated,
Rob Wilson.
