Not meeting this constraint raised an exception, which crashed the app. Since there was no possibility to add more drag images to `dragImage` API (it only took one NSImage as parameter) the code had to be rewritten - as such I upgraded it to new DnD API utilizing NSDraggingSession and related protocols.

Manually updating NSPasteboard before calling `beginDraggingSessionWithItems` raised another exception related to NSPasteboard already having DnD-ed elements inside it. Some system tests, however, relied on that behavior and writing to NSPasteboard (`MacPasteboardShim.java` used in some tests creates a `Clipboard.DND` for test purposes). Since this path is in tests I assumed this behavior should stay and tried to make it as close to working as possible. Tests (including those using `MacPasteboardShim`) pass after my changes.

I updated the code as suggested. Interesting behavior I did not expect, but the more you know - thanks for catching that.
