[udig-devel] feature panel update

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

Evening:

I promised moovida I would communicate a bit more ;-)

I have been making progress on showing feature panels in a tabbed view; I ended up porting the tabbed property view to work against a feature site - and the design is holding up to the change.  And I learned a lot.

So much so I am now debugging visible errors which is very much more rewarding then debugging invisible ones.

Myles was also able pass a code review and has committed an EditFeature implementation (something that wraps up the current edit manager feature and sends "SetAttribute" commands away each time the setAttrtibute method is called).

The svn commit access came a bit late for the Legend View / Table of Contents view to be contributed as a community plugin (sad). Hopefully that can happen another time (before it is implemented again by another group). We have also looked at creating a map from a template (basically adding a list to the new map wizard so you can choose a ready-to-go map; new templates are added via an extension point; and hopefully someone can add an adapter to populate the list from a saved project on disk?).  This answers the common question of how do I create a map with my organisations base layers; if others like the idea we could discuss it on the email list and see about folding it into udig proper as....
