Problem with drag and drop on a JTable

[Paul Tomblin]

I have a JTable that has a TransferHandler to allow drag and drop.
My users are complaining that you have to click on the item to select it,
and *then* you can drag it. I think the problem is in createTransferable,
where I use "getSelectedRow()" to create the Transferable. Is there a way
to a click/drag without first selecting the row? Would it interfere with
ordinary selection?

Never mind, discovered that it's a bug:

Fixed in Java 1.5 release 5, but only if you explicitly enable it with a
property. Oh joy.
