you could:

- specialize the BasicMapPanel overiding the constructors and the
addMapBeanToPanel methods to create a panel with a JSplitPane 9one side
of which will contain the MapBean and the other side MapPanelChild(ren).

- create your own subclass of the OpenMap app to use your new
BasicMapPanel subclass.

- add a child to the JSplitPane by implementing the MapPanelChild
interface and ensuring it is added to the BeanContext (for example use
"extends OMComponentPanel implements MapPanelChild" which acheives both
these things).

- in your application, you would create a new OpenMap instance of the
subclass - say "YourOpenMap" - passing the PropertyHandler.

     YourOpenMap app = new YourOpenMap();

in the attached code fragments for the new BasicMapPanel subclass, any
MapPanelChild with preferredLocation of BorderLayout.EAST is added to
the SplitPane while the MapBean itself is added to the right of the Pane
in the constructor.

hope this helps,
