This fix is not correct. The problem is that the test program doesn't handle DragOver and DragDropped events. I suspect that the bug should be closed as "Not an issue".

modules/javafx.swing/src/main/java/module-info.java line 39:

This should be reverted. I can think of no reason for the `javafx.swing` module to depend on `javafx.controls`. Drag and drop is not a Controls action. It is a scene graph action.
