[Fwd: Interactivly adding layers in openmap application.]

attached mail follows:

This is the annoucement of Kai Lessmanns work to
make it easier to browse data with the OpenMap Application.

The patch be downloaded from:
        ftp://intevation.de/users/bernhard/openmap/

Haven't checked if it still can be applied to openmap 4.3
without warnings. It took us a bit to get it published.

ps.: Send be a carbon-copy of relevant replies as I am not on the
openmap-users list most of the time.

From the Readme:

This patch enhances the OpenMap Application (4.1.1). It adds a menu item to
add new layers to the map at runtime interactively. A framework to add any
layer type is provided, ShapeLayers in particular are supported.

The main work is done in two classes: LayerAddPanel and Inspector, both found
in the com.bbn.openmap.gui package. LayerAddPanel adds a menu item to the
Layers menu, which triggers a panel for interactively instantiating a Layer
object. Inspector queries a new Layer object (actually any PropertyConsumer)
through the PropertyConsumer interface to configure it.

For details see the javadoc class documentation (might have to be rebuilt (make
docs)).
