how to drag and drop item when they're already in field

Can you explain this please?
What's an item and where is it?
What is the 'field'?

"Field" mean JPanel.when i drag the label into the panel..then how to put text or icon in that label. means, how i want to edit that label..and how to move that label when i already drag it on the Panel

To recognize the mouse presses and movements, you need to use mouse listeners.
When the mouse is pressed in one of the labels, you'll need to keep track of where the mouse is moved to and reposition the label to the new location.

thanks for your information...

but here my code (i modify it)...

the only thing i want is, how can i drag the label and edit text in label (my code now use 2 click) when i already drag it into the panel(tpan). the code i give above, the problem is when i drag it(label), i can't double click it to input the text. if i can put the text in label, then i want drag the label(already put text) to any position i want in panel(tpan), and the label no change anything(same be4 drag it)... i hope u know what i want... im sorry for my english...

Your code is not really drag and drop. It's only following mouse presses and movements with a change of cursor.
Do a Google on DragSource or DragTarget to see code that uses DnD classes.

To drag your label, add a Mouse Listener that detects when the mouse is pressed inside of a label and then follow the mouse's movement and set the label's location to correspond with the mouse's movement.
