Java Drag and Drop Show Item Being Dragged

I've implemented drag and drop in my JTree, but I'm wondering is there a way to show the item(s) being dragged while dragging (such as when dragging in Windows Explorer or dragging files in Eclipse for example)?

The trick is to add an additional layer (JPanel) over your app to render the images as they drag. Romain Guy wrote a slick and easy example of this a few years ago:
