Yes, thats right! But that is not my intention to do!
Right now, i do it exactly that way and as i said in my first message:
"... I only can extract the files when the User starts dragging. If i
had to extract an 10 MB file the user must wait a minute until he can
release the Button ..."

What i need is a solution to extract between "User Released
Mousebutton" and "Filesystem will copy files" OR
find out the Drop-Location.

After playing a little bit with SunDragSourceContextPeer i think its
not possible to do that with Core-Java.
I think i will try if i can write a C-Library which can spy File-Drops
to System and than find out the location via active Window etc.
