Kde java integration

I like to do a bit of Java programming and my prefered desktop environment is KDE.

I'd like to be able to use the KDE file chooser and to support drag and drop from KDE in a swing GUI.

Any pointers to samples or books or howto would be great.

What you aim to do is provide an integration between two different library widgets. I don't think that is possible in KDE(IMO) till now, but that is my opinion and I don't know a lot of things.

Java can invoke native code so the file manager shouldn't be too hard. The drag and drop is probably a lot harder, but I'm sure it's possible.

And I agree with your words or wisdom by the way. I'm still coming to terms with my recent discovery about my abilities ;-)
