SystemClipboard - simplify interaction with the system clipboard

[CodesAway]

Java's Clipboard class implements methods that allow interacting with the system clipboard, as well as creating your own local clipboard. The class has amazing potential, but it lacks the necessary helper classes to reach this potential.

SystemClipboard is a free Java utility class that adds these helper classes, allowing full access to the clipboard, while simplifying the functionality already supported in Java's clipboard class.

SystemClipboard works with Java 1.5 and above.
