/**
 * This class provides default implementations to display a drag source
 * effect during a drag and drop operation. The current implementation
 * does not provide any visual feedback. 
 * 
 * <p>The drag source effect has the same API as the 
 * <code>DragSourceAdapter</code> so that it can provide custom visual 
 * feedback when a <code>DragSourceEvent</code> occurs. 
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>Classes that wish to provide their own drag source effect such as
 * displaying a default source image during a drag can extend the <code>DragSourceEffect</code> 
 * class, override the <code>DragSourceAdapter.dragStart</code> method and set 
 * the field <code>DragSourceEvent.image</code> with their own image.
 * The image should be disposed when <code>DragSourceAdapter.dragFinished</code> is called.
