I had tried but how to use dragDrop() feature for dragging one application into another. It would be helpful if you can provide example code for this.

So first write down, the steps you are doing manually and then translate this to a Sikuli workflow.

e.g. a usual workflow
--- click and hold left mouse button on the source icon
--- wait until it is accepted as a drag start
--- move mouse to the target icon or window
--- wait until a drop operation is expected
--- release mouse button

for every step there are Sikuli features available.
