Interface MobyContentProducer

All Known Implementing Classes:

MobyDataObjectWidget

public interface MobyContentProducer

This interface should be implemented by any application component that can produce data going to a MobyObjectTransferHandler for export. The MOTH will turn copied data into some text form, so for example a GUI widget (representing a piece of MOBY data) implementing this interface can be manually dragged on to a text box for pasting as plain text (direct manipulation).
