The problem is that the binary ChemDraw clipboard format is not passed to the Java environment. Thus, DataWarrior sees an empty clipboard, if you just use 'Copy'.

I suggest to use 'Copy As->Mol Text' or 'Copy As->Mol V3000 Text'. Then ChemDraw is creating and pushing a molfile to the clipboard, which is text data, is passed to the Java runtime environment and is seen and converted by DataWarrior. I tried and confirmed with the current development version.
