Re: [Wrapper-user] Drag and Drop disabled when running as service via a wrapper

[Mark L. <mid...@ve...>]

One more piece of info that just occurred to me: My app runs in the 
system tray, using the SystemTray class available only in J2SE 6. Could 
that be causing the problem? I'll try running in J2SE 5, in which case 
it will run without the System Tray, and see if that works.
