Hello Stefan, I think this is probably a good idea but I'd be interested to hear what others think who have been involved with the library, and it's various attempts at GUI modules, for much longer than I have.
One of the reasons for my caution is that one could imagine JMapPane's various bits being formalized into a number of interfaces. The old swing-widgets module had a DeformableViewer interface and a ZoomPane abstract class, neither of which I've used in JMapPane (nor did Ian whose JMapPane code was the starting point for the current class). There is also the rule that we've set ourselves (sensibly I think) to keep the swing module simple and modest in scope. I wonder if defining interfaces might be seen by some as akin to setting standards - something that it could be argued the swing module isn't there to do.
