Re: [OpenMap Users] About adding swing component

The layer has a getGUI() method, you would return a java.awt.Component
with the interface you want for the layer. This interface can be
brought up programmatically through the layer in a separate window, or
through the GUI LayersPanel.

Alternatively, you could make your layer implement the
com.bbn.openmap.gui.Tool interface, and those components would show up
in the ToolPanel above the map.
