      public static void setClipboard(GProp<?>[] gps, ISelection selection, boolean doCopy)
      Sets the clip board with the properties.

      The clip board is set with the transfer types PropertiesTransfer and ResourceTransfer if possible.

      If the properties are all IPropDesigner instances with IResource's attached, the ResourceTransfer is only used.

      When ResourceTransfer is used, the FileTransfer is also set.

      If the selection parameter is non-null, the clip board is set with the LocalSelectionTransfer type for use in the same Eclipse instance.

      Parameters:
      gps - The array of property containers.
      selection - The selection (or null for none).
      doCopy - Causes the selection to be saved to clipboard too (for cut or delete, this is not possible).
