 * <p>An example of a java <code>String</code> containing plain text is shown 
 * below:</p>

 * <code><pre>
 *     String textData = "Hello World";
 * </code></pre>
 * 
 * <p>Note the <code>TextTransfer</code> does not change the content of the text
 * data. For a better integration with the platform, the application should convert
 * the line delimiters used in the text data to the standard line delimiter used by the
 * platform.
