+ * The tutorial had already been updated to Java 6 (which includes changes to
+ * TransferHandler that I didn't want to use yet), so a cached version was found
+ * at http://mockus.us/optimum/JavaTutorial/mustang/uiswing/dnd/examples/index.html#DragPictureDemo
+ * (retrieved June 17, 2009).
+ * 
+ * It was modified by Byron Weber Becker as follows:
+ * -- code to initialize the pictures was simplified with an array and loop
+ * -- removed unused imports 
+ * -- used inner classes for listeners rather than exposing the
+ *    methods in a class's public interface
+ * -- there were funny inheritance interactions between DragablePicture and Picture
+ *    in the mouse and mousemotion listeners, so combined the two classes
+ * -- added support for the javaFileList data flavor, enabling drag 'n drop
+ *    from the desktop and to other applications such as image editors
+ * -- removed the copy/cut/paste magic using action maps and the automatic 
+ *    stuff in TransferHandler and replaced it with direct and easier to
+ *    understand implementations.
