> Issue is when `JFXPanel `is used to embed some JavaFX components and when we drag something from swing or an external application and try to drop on a JavaFX component inside the JFXPanel, it doesn't accept the drop showing "block" sign suggesting DnD is blocked. 
> 
> The problem is in both drag and drop side of operations where `acceptDrag `and `acceptDrop `on `DropTargetDragEvent `is not called because `DragEvent constructor` called from `Scene `
> [which is called from `SwingDnD `via `EmbeddedSceneDTInterface.handleDragEnter` and `handleDragDrop] 
> `
> is not storing `state.acceptedTransferMode` when eventType is not `DragEvent.DRAG_DROPPED` or `DragEvent.DRAG_DONE` but Scene creates DragEvent with only `DragEvent.ANY`
>  so `handleDragEnter `and `handleDragDrop `returns null as `DragEvent.getAcceptedTransferMode` returns null
> 
> Fix is made so that instead of relying on return value of handleDragEnter/handleDragDrop  which seems to be always null for reason mentioned above, we rely on `isDataFlavorSupported `check for the drag and drop as is being done in JDK side of DnD scheme.
> Also, to have a proper drop of the data, we get the focus owner from the JFXPanel scene and insert the text in the location pointed to by the mouse cursor.
> 
> Regression test is already present in tests/manual/swing/DragDropOntoJavaFXControlInJFXPanelTest.java
