  38  * A {@code DataFlavor} provides meta information about data. {@code DataFlavor}
  39  * is typically used to access data on the clipboard, or during
  40  * a drag and drop operation.
  41  * <p>
  42  * An instance of {@code DataFlavor} encapsulates a content type as
  43  * defined in <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC 2045</a>
  44  * and <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt">RFC 2046</a>.
  45  * A content type is typically referred to as a MIME type.
  46  * <p>
  47  * A content type consists of a media type (referred
  48  * to as the primary type), a subtype, and optional parameters. See
  49  * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC 2045</a>
  50  * for details on the syntax of a MIME type.
  51  * <p>
  52  * The JRE data transfer implementation interprets the parameter &quot;class&quot;
  53  * of a MIME type as <B>a representation class</b>.
  54  * The representation class reflects the class of the object being
  55  * transferred. In other words, the representation class is the type of
  56  * object returned by {@link Transferable#getTransferData}.
  57  * For example, the MIME type of {@link #imageFlavor} is
  58  * {@code "image/x-java-image;class=java.awt.Image"},
  59  * the primary type is {@code image}, the subtype is
  60  * {@code x-java-image}, and the representation class is
  61  * {@code java.awt.Image}. When {@code getTransferData} is invoked
  62  * with a {@code DataFlavor} of {@code imageFlavor}, an instance of
  63  * {@code java.awt.Image} is returned.
  64  * It's important to note that {@code DataFlavor} does no error checking
  65  * against the representation class. It is up to consumers of
  66  * {@code DataFlavor}, such as {@code Transferable}, to honor the representation
  67  * class.
  68  * <br>
  69  * Note, if you do not specify a representation class when
  70  * creating a {@code DataFlavor}, the default
  71  * representation class is used. See appropriate documentation for
  72  * {@code DataFlavor}'s constructors.
  73  * <p>
  74  * Also, {@code DataFlavor} instances with the &quot;text&quot; primary
  75  * MIME type may have a &quot;charset&quot; parameter. Refer to
  76  * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt">RFC 2046</a> and
  77  * {@link #selectBestTextFlavor} for details on &quot;text&quot; MIME types
  78  * and the &quot;charset&quot; parameter.
  79  * <p>
  80  * Equality of {@code DataFlavors} is determined by the primary type,
  81  * subtype, and representation class. Refer to {@link #equals(DataFlavor)} for
  82  * details. When determining equality, any optional parameters are ignored.
  83  * For example, the following produces two {@code DataFlavors} that
  84  * are considered identical:
  85  * <pre>
  86  *   DataFlavor flavor1 = new DataFlavor(Object.class, &quot;X-test/test; class=&lt;java.lang.Object&gt;; foo=bar&quot;);
  87  *   DataFlavor flavor2 = new DataFlavor(Object.class, &quot;X-test/test; class=&lt;java.lang.Object&gt;; x=y&quot;);
  88  *   // The following returns true.
  89  *   flavor1.equals(flavor2);
  90  * </pre>
  91  * As mentioned, {@code flavor1} and {@code flavor2} are considered identical.
  92  * As such, asking a {@code Transferable} for either {@code DataFlavor} returns
  93  * the same results.
  94  * <p>
  95  * For more information on the using data transfer with Swing see
  96  * the <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html">
  97  * How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer</a>,

 671      * not support the charset parameter and will not check again. Because

 673      * <code>DataFlavor</code>, developers must ensure that all

 676      * should never rely on the JRE to substitute the platform's default
 677      * charset for a "text/&lt;other&gt;" DataFlavor. Failure to adhere to this
 678      * restriction will lead to undefined behavior.
 679      * <p>
 680      * If the best MIME type in the array does not support the charset
