public class BorderSplitter
extends java.lang.Object

An utility class used to delegate the border drag/drop scanning for docking ( since the same code is used in many DockDropReceivers).

Method Detail

processDockableDrag

public void processDockableDrag(DockDragEvent e)

processDockableDrop

public void processDockableDrop(DockDropEvent e)

split

public void split(DockDropEvent event,
                  java.awt.Container draggedContainer,
                  DockingConstants.Split position)
This method should be overriden if the delegator doesn't belong to the docking containment hierarchy after drop acceptance.

Here is a case :

Then, tabpane will be replaced by a simple DockableContainer on drop acceptance (because only one tab left).

And DockingDesktop.splitContainer(Component base, Split position) cannot be called with tabpane as "base" (instead, it should be called with the replacer of tabpane, or use the other split method which takes a dockable as base.
