So on Windows with Java 7  I receive an image dragged frrm a webpage in 
these flavours (plus others) but these are two I'm interested in

10.31.07:com.jthink.jaikoz.draganddrop.FileDropTarget:drop:SEVERE: 
java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor[mimetype=application/x-java-url;representationclass=java.net.URL]

java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor[mimetype=application/x-java-file-list;representationclass=java.util.List]

On OSX with Java 6 I received at least one of the two above, but now 
with Java 7 (1.7.0_40) I no longer receive either

I found these bugs that seem related

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7124379
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8005932

Could I have a comment on this please.
