Creating a CQ widget that supports image drag and drop

You can create an AEM component that manages text and an image. Furthermore, the component created in this article has a CQ Dialog that lets a user select an image during design time. The component is used by the CQ parsys system, supports a Dialog with multiple tabs, and enables the functionality offered by the Content Finder (for example, drag-and-drop).
