I know that Java doesn't support dnd in the menu stuff, but I need it
anyway.

I find that merely *needing* the nonexistent doesn't make it exist. Unless my need drives me to *create* it of course.


Technically speaking it doesn't have to be a popup menu, but would be
nice, as long as it has the look and feel of a popup menu (i.e.
fonts, size, etc.). An example of what I'm talking about, via menus,
is the start menu under Windows. Those menus allow you to do dnd,
but of course it's Windows and they allow anything and everything.

Try a JTree, they support drag-and-drop. They can be made to look something like a menu.


Just to note I'm using JDK 1.5.x if that helps for the code
direction.

I'd download JDK 1.6 anyway.
