title: java/swing: clipboard paste
body: <p>I have a DropTargetListener setup to allow me to drag + drop strings into some tables of my Swing application -- on a drop, I parse the string and insert data into the table.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to do the same thing with a clipboard paste (Ctrl-V). <strong>What literature is there to explain how to handle clipboard pastes?</strong> I'm looking at <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/listpaste.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">some stuff from Sun's website</a> and it seems bizarre, like this should be simpler.</p>
