+/**
+ * A {@code DataFlavor} provides meta information about data. {@code DataFlavor}
+ * is typically used to access data on the clipboard, or during
+ * a drag and drop operation.
+ * <p>
+ * An instance of {@code DataFlavor} encapsulates a content type as
+ * defined in <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC 2045</a>
+ * and <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt">RFC 2046</a>.
+ * A content type is typically referred to as a MIME type.
+ * <p>
+ * A content type consists of a media type (referred
+ * to as the primary type), a subtype, and optional parameters. See
+ * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC 2045</a>
+ * for details on the syntax of a MIME type.
+ * <p>
+ * The JRE data transfer implementation interprets the parameter &quot;class&quot;
+ * of a MIME type as <B>a representation class</b>.
+ * The representation class reflects the class of the object being
+ * transferred. In other words, the representation class is the type of
+ * object returned by {@link Transferable#getTransferData}.
+ * For example, the MIME type of {@link #imageFlavor} is
+ * {@code "image/x-java-image;class=java.awt.Image"},
+ * the primary type is {@code image}, the subtype is
+ * {@code x-java-image}, and the representation class is
+ * {@code java.awt.Image}. When {@code getTransferData} is invoked
+ * with a {@code DataFlavor} of {@code imageFlavor}, an instance of
+ * {@code java.awt.Image} is returned.
+ * It's important to note that {@code DataFlavor} does no error checking
+ * against the representation class. It is up to consumers of
+ * {@code DataFlavor}, such as {@code Transferable}, to honor the representation
+ * class.
+ * <br>
+ * Note, if you do not specify a representation class when
+ * creating a {@code DataFlavor}, the default
+ * representation class is used. See appropriate documentation for
+ * {@code DataFlavor}'s constructors.
+ * <p>
+ * Also, {@code DataFlavor} instances with the &quot;text&quot; primary
+ * MIME type may have a &quot;charset&quot; parameter. Refer to
+ * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt">RFC 2046</a> and
+ * {@link #selectBestTextFlavor} for details on &quot;text&quot; MIME types
+ * and the &quot;charset&quot; parameter.
+ * <p>
+ * Equality of {@code DataFlavors} is determined by the primary type,
+ * subtype, and representation class. Refer to {@link #equals(DataFlavor)} for
+ * details. When determining equality, any optional parameters are ignored.
+ * For example, the following produces two {@code DataFlavors} that
+ * are considered identical:
+ * <pre>
+ *   DataFlavor flavor1 = new DataFlavor(Object.class, &quot;X-test/test; class=&lt;java.lang.Object&gt;; foo=bar&quot;);
+ *   DataFlavor flavor2 = new DataFlavor(Object.class, &quot;X-test/test; class=&lt;java.lang.Object&gt;; x=y&quot;);
+ *   // The following returns true.
+ *   flavor1.equals(flavor2);
+ * </pre>
+ * As mentioned, {@code flavor1} and {@code flavor2} are considered identical.
+ * As such, asking a {@code Transferable} for either {@code DataFlavor} returns
+ * the same results.
+ * <p>
+ * For more information on the using data transfer with Swing see
+ * the <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html">
+ * How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer</a>,
+ * section in <em>Java Tutorial</em>.

+     * over <code>DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor</code>.
+     * <p>
+     * If two or more flavors share the best MIME type in the array, then that

+     * <p>

+     * listed, the JRE will assume from that point on that the MIME type does
+     * not support the charset parameter and will not check again. Because
+     * this check is performed on an arbitrarily chosen
+     * <code>DataFlavor</code>, developers must ensure that all
+     * <code>DataFlavor</code>s with a "text/&lt;other&gt;" MIME type specify
+     * the charset parameter if it is supported by that MIME type. Developers
+     * should never rely on the JRE to substitute the platform's default
+     * charset for a "text/&lt;other&gt;" DataFlavor. Failure to adhere to this
+     * restriction will lead to undefined behavior.
+     * <p>
+     * If the best MIME type in the array does not support the charset
+     * parameter, the flavors which share that MIME type will then be sorted by
+     * their representation classes in the following order:
+     * <code>java.io.InputStream</code>, <code>java.nio.ByteBuffer</code>,
+     * <code>[B</code>, &lt;all others&gt;.
+     * <p>
+     * If two or more flavors share the best representation class, or if no
+     * flavor has one of the three specified representations, then one of those
+     * flavors will be chosen non-deterministically.

+     * If the best MIME type in the array does support the charset parameter,

+     * <code>java.nio.CharBuffer</code>, <code>[C</code>, &lt;all others&gt;.
+     * <p>
+     * If two or more flavors share the best representation class, and that
+     * representation is one of the four explicitly listed, then one of those
+     * flavors will be chosen non-deterministically. If, however, no flavor has
