How to programmatically access to the TopComponent tab ?

[Jerome Lelasseux <le...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

Hi,
I have several TopComponents opened in editor mode. I'd like to be able to drag an item from the content of TopComponent TC1 to TopComponent TC2. I can make it work (using the Swing DnD framework) if TC1 or TC2 is undocked.

But if they are both docked, how to do it ? 

Setting my own TransferHandler on the target TopComponent does not work in this case, I assume because the "tab" part does not inherit the handler. So how to access the TopComponent "tab" part (I assume  JComponent) ?
Thanks!

Probably a local network server with proprietary port until connected. 
copy on drag, paste on drop, unless win/nix product; then that probably 
wont work. maybe you could jni?
