Cut/copy/paste in the platform is something I find severely lacks both
thorough documentation and good examples.
Hopefully some people with a good understanding of how it works can
take a few minutes to give an explanation -- if so, I volunteer to
write the FAQ on the topic from their replies.
Until then, this might help you if you have not seen it already:

Actually that was a new link for me, thx.
I agree, the cut/copy/paste lacks thorough documentation, I strongly believe
them to be the most important node actions with the exception of create and
destroy node.
It seems like overriding clipboardCut() could be helpful, but I'm not sure,
the documentation/examples are a bit confusing and moderate at best.

I was so hopeful that I started a FAQ topic already; please feel free
to update it based on what you learn:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqCutCopyPaste
Also note that I linked to a section from NetBeans: The Definitive
Guide which explains cut/copy/paste in some detail.

Got it to work, I just needed to override clipBoardCut() on the node I
wanted the cut action on.
I will put together an extremely simplified example with copy/cut/paste and
drag&drop on nodes, I'm not much for writing tutorials but if I make short
sample app and add it to the wiki it might be of some help in the future...

Fantastic! Feel free to update the FAQ entry I set up. Or if you'd
rather send everything to me, I will add it to the FAQ for you...
Just don't be shy about writing something, though, because whatever
you write will be helpful.
