Drag and Drop Handling for Linked Eclipse Resources

Drag and drop for linked Eclipse resources are handled as follows:

Source view	Target view	Action
Application Explorer or Table Results view	Application Explorer or Table Results view	Move or copy (depending on the target resource, see note below).
Remote System view (local)	Application Explorer or Table Results view	Copy
Application Explorer or Table Results view	Remote System view (local)	Copy
Windows ExplorerUNIX file system	Application Explorer or Table Results view	Copy or link (depending on the response in the prompt dialog).
Application Explorer or Table Results view	Windows ExplorerUNIX file system	Move
Eclipse views (Project Explorer, Navigator...)	Application Explorer or Table Results view	Move or copy (depending on the source resource, see note below)
Application Explorer or Table Results view	Eclipse views (Project Explorer, Navigator...)	Move or copy (depending on the target resource, see note below).

Note:

By default, a drag and drop operation between Linked Eclipse Resources and other Linked Eclipse Resources or local workspace resources trigger a move operation. By using modifier keys, the drag and drop operation can be changed to a copy or link operation. The modifier key ctrl results in a copy, and the modifier key alt results in a link.
By default, a drag and drop operation between Linked Eclipse Resources and non-workspace resources (remote resources) triggers a copy operation.
Other drag and drop scenarios of linked Eclipse resources are not supported.
