Re: [udig-devel] Adding a ModalTool to the action bar

[Mark Presling <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jesse,

Adding the category certainly made my tool appear on the task bar. 
However, when I click on (selecting it, not using it) it I get on the 
console:

Unhandled event loop exception
Reason:
-1

Do you have any idea if there is something else I need to add to the 
configuration. Here is the source of my tool (it's basically just a copy 
of an existing tool that is supposed to draw a small rectangle on the 
screen for now, the same wasy that the info tool does)

public class PointEventTool extends AbstractModalTool implements ModalTool {
   /**
    * ID of the current tool.
    */
   public static final String ID = "xxx.PointEventTool";
   public static final String CATEGORY_ID = "xxx.roadevent";

   public static final String BLACKBOARD_KEY = ID;


   /**
    * Creates an PointEventTool Tool.
    */
   public PointEventTool() {
       super( MOUSE | MOTION );        
   }
   
   @Override
   public void mousePressed( MapMouseEvent e ) {
       //throw a coordinate onto the current map blackboard
       
       IMap map = ApplicationGIS.getActiveMap();
       if (map == null)
           return;  
       
       
       IBlackboard blackboard = map.getBlackboard();
       List<Coordinate> points = (List<Coordinate>) blackboard.get(BLACKBOARD_KEY);
       if (points == null) {
           points = new ArrayList<Coordinate>();
           blackboard.put(BLACKBOARD_KEY,points);
       }
       
       points.add(new Coordinate(e.x,e.y));
      
       

       Rectangle2D r = new Rectangle2D.Double(e.x,e.y,2,2);
       DrawCommandFactory dfactory = DrawCommandFactory.getInstance();
       DrawShapeCommand command = dfactory.createDrawShapeCommand(r, Color.ORANGE, ViewportGraphics.LINE_DASH, 1);

       command.setValid(true);
       
       getContext().sendASyncCommand(command);
               
   }

   @Override
   public void mouseDragged( MapMouseEvent e ) {
       
   }
   
   
   /**
    * @see net.refractions.udig.project.ui.tool.AbstractTool#mouseReleased(MapMouseEvent)
    */
   public void mouseReleased(MapMouseEvent e) {
   }
   
   /**
    * @see net.refractions.udig.project.ui.tool.Tool#dispose()
    */
   public void dispose() {
       super.dispose();
   }

}


I have tried to debug it but it seems that the constructor or 
mousePressed() method isn't called.

Here's the plugin.xml extension def:

  <extension
        point="net.refractions.udig.project.ui.tool">
           <modalTool
      			  cursor="crosshair"
                 categoryId="nz.govt.transit.callcenter.tool.roadevent"
                 class="nz.govt.transit.callcenter.tool.PointEventTool"
                 icon="icons/calander_Icon.gif"
                 id="nz.govt.transit.callcenter.tool.PointEventTool"
                 name="name"
                 onToolbar="true"
                 tooltip="tooltip">
  			<cursor
           hotspotY="10"
           hotspotX="10"
           image="icons/calander_Icon.gif"
           id="crosshair"/>
        </modalTool>
           <category
                 icon="icons/calander_Icon.gif"
                 id="nz.govt.transit.callcenter.tool.roadevent"
                 name="Road Event Tool Category"/>
  </extension>

Can you think of anything that I can try? Maybe a good debug point that 
I can use?

Thanks
Mark
