/**
 * This is an example of a component, which serves as a DragSource as 
 * well as Drop Target.
 * To illustrate the concept, JList has been used as a droppable target
 * and a draggable source.
 * Any component can be used instead of a JList.
 * The code also contains debugging messages which can be used for 
 * diagnostics and understanding the flow of events.
 * 
 * @version 1.0
