Browser integration

Most recent browsers (FF, Chrome, Safari) have good support for HTML5 Drag&Drop.

We should leverage this to replace the browsers addons :

• that need to be deployed

• that are hard to maintain

Using standard HTML5 Drop support we should be able to import files in Nuxeo from the desktop on most recent browsers :FireFox > 3.6 / Chrome / Safari 4+.

The feature we may loose is the possibility to upload a foldertree

=> to be checked

In addition, Chrome supports Drag out (moving files from the browser to the desktop)

=> we must leverage this also and see if this can be done on othe browsers (check GMail)

In all cases, this HTML5 should replace the "old D&D" when the browser supports HTML5 :

=> browser detection

=> replace the content of include.xhtml

This way, we should be able to maintain at least both systems in parallele

NB : We could also replace the internal D&D support (done using prototype) with some JQuery : this would make the code cleaner and the page rendering faster (less isolated JS fragments).
