Code wise this looks good to me. Thanks! Have you tested that dropping on entries still works and takes precedence over the general table view drop handler (e.g. directly dropping on an entry adds a link to this entry)?

Also you have checkstyle errors, may I ask you to please fix them.

The short answer, no I cannot drop a file on an entry and get it to add the file to that entry. But it never did. I checked all the the positions top+bottom and center, and only top and bottom add files but only as new entries. I was a little confused as to the intended behavior. I would be happy to investigate further. How is it intended to work?

Dropping a file on an entry depends on the modifier key you pressed (alt, shift or ctrl).
There's a description in the help somehow at the linked files topic

So I'm guessing my issue is a Mac OS transfer mode key thing or possibly a system security setting, but I'm unable to get "move" to trigger and "copy" does nothing. Only "link" adds a file to the entry (control + drag). To answer your original question the entries still take precedence, and work exactly the way they did without my fix.

With my fix:
Drag and drop on an entry does not create a new entry. It works exactly as it did before.

Let me know if you want me to investigate more, or require further changes.

Ok, thanks for testing!

@Siedlerchr didn't we fix these drag & drop issues on Mac as well?

@tp-1000 On mac you need to use the option key.
However, I can only get modus copy to work.

I checked this with a minimal demo app and it seems like it's a bug again in javafx

That's no good. Well, thanks for follow up. Yeah, I saw how it was suppose to work, just wasn't working for me.

Is there a related open issue in the javafx bugtracker?

I couldn't find one, so I submitted one yesterday evening. TL;DR: On Mac only Copy mode works

As this issue on mac is not related to your changes, https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8227371
