Kevin, This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to tell OpenJUMP that a feature attribute is not editable for a layer through the user interface?
I was trying to see how I could do this in the dialog that lets you edit a layer schema in a build from SVN, but couldn't see it. Is this functionality only accessible programatically right now?
