There's one constructor you can use to create private clipboards. However most of the time you'll just get the system clipboard instead:
public Clipboard(String name)
There are also three methods that allow you to get the name of the object currently on the clipboard (only one object can be on a clipboard at a time), to get the contents of the clipboard (paste), or to set the contents of the clipboard (cut or copy):
public String getName()
public void setContents(Transferable contents,
ClipboardOwner owner)
public Transferable getContents(Object requestor)
