Re: [udig-devel] access point to map of katerina browser

That is a rather complicated way of getting the map in my opinion.

A couple of questions.  Is the map expected to be open already?  Is it 
the active map?
If it is the active and open map then you can get the map by:


If you are on trunk:
ApplicationGIS.getActiveMap() (this may return null if there is no open Map)

If the map is one of the open maps then you can do:
ApplicationGIS.getMaps() (this gives you the list of open maps).

If it is closed then you can:
ApplicationGIS.getProjects()
which will get you all the project in the system.

if you are on 1.0.x branch:
PlatformGIS.getActiveMap() (this may return null if there is no open Map)

If the map is one of the open maps then you can do:
PaltformGIS.getMaps() (this gives you the list of open maps). It think 
this one exists in 1.0.x

If it is closed then you can:
ProjectPlugin.getDefault().getProjectRegistry.getProjects();
which will get you all the project in the system.
