I built and tested using the Arik.java file.  Looks good. I was able to paste the file.,
And when in finder I select "Show clipboard" it shows a file:  URL instead of unknown content type.
I wonder whether this could be the basis of an automated regression test .. can't we get the clipboard contents and verify it is a file ?
