    Constructor and Description
    `DragGestureRecognizer(DragSource ds)` Construct a new `DragGestureRecognizer` given the `DragSource` to be used in this Drag and Drop operation.
    `DragGestureRecognizer(DragSource ds, Component c)` Construct a new `DragGestureRecognizer` given the `DragSource` to be used in this Drag and Drop operation, and the `Component` this `DragGestureRecognizer` should "observe" for drag initiating gestures.
    `DragGestureRecognizer(DragSource ds, Component c, int sa)` Construct a new `DragGestureRecognizer` given the `DragSource` to be used in this Drag and Drop operation, the `Component` this `DragGestureRecognizer` should "observe" for drag initiating gestures, and the action(s) supported for this Drag and Drop operation.
    `DragGestureRecognizer(DragSource ds, Component c, int sa, DragGestureListener dgl)` Construct a new `DragGestureRecognizer` given the `DragSource` to be used in this Drag and Drop operation, the `Component` this `DragGestureRecognizer` should "observe" for drag initiating gestures, the action(s) supported for this Drag and Drop operation, and the `DragGestureListener` to notify once a drag initiating gesture has been detected.
    `MouseDragGestureRecognizer(DragSource ds)` Construct a new `MouseDragGestureRecognizer` given the `DragSource` for the `Component`.
    `MouseDragGestureRecognizer(DragSource ds, Component c)` Construct a new `MouseDragGestureRecognizer` given the `DragSource` for the `Component` c, and the `Component` to observe.
    `MouseDragGestureRecognizer(DragSource ds, Component c, int act)` Construct a new `MouseDragGestureRecognizer` given the `DragSource` for the `Component` c, the `Component` to observe, and the action(s) permitted for this drag operation.
    `MouseDragGestureRecognizer(DragSource ds, Component c, int act, DragGestureListener dgl)` Construct a new `MouseDragGestureRecognizer` given the `DragSource` for the `Component` c, the `Component` to observe, the action(s) permitted for this drag operation, and the `DragGestureListener` to notify when a drag gesture is detected.
