Java Thanks largely to the open sourcing of the JDK, 2007 promises to be the most exciting year in Java programming.

They do not really integrate into the desktop environment (best example cut&paste of anything except pure unformated text).

I think clipboard is actually a bad example, because Java, or more precisely AWT, handles the X11 clipboard just fine.

Copy&Paste problems are usually a bug in one of the applications involved in the transfer or in both, e.g. checking for any supported MIME type instead of using the most useful one.
