Larry, Thanks for the response. This is exactly what I needed. Integration of features from SkyJUMP into OpenJUMP should move a lot faster now. I never ceased to be amazed by all of the functionality in Eclipse. It makes me wonder what I would pay for it if I had to pay for it. :] The Sunburned

Sunburned, It's actually pretty straightforward to do the compare using Eclipse. I use the right-click Compare With feature to synchronize features with JUMP and OpenJump. It will open up a Compare editor that will step you through the differences and you can use the buttons to copy changes that

I would really like to start integrating some of the features in SkyJUMP into OpenJUMP. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do this. Obviously we can't just replace the source code files, because SkyJUMP is built from JUMP's code base, not OpenJUMP's. This means that it won't contain th

Regarding internationalized menu names, Sefan pointed us to the MenuNames class, which holds all of the I18N menu names as public static String types. Using these strings should effectively resolve any issue with menu names, or am I mistaken? regards, Larry Becker On 5/10/07, Sunburned Surveyor

I really hadn't given much thought to how we were integrating plug-ins into OpenJUMP's core. Stefan usually does this work. Paolo wrote: "If core plug-ins were initialized by some other methods, like using some XML file or even by refactoring them inside separated JARs you can drop inside the lib

This was quite illuminating, thank you!!! And it makes me think about a couple of things. If Extensions are code capable of loading plug-ins, the JUMPConfiguration class may be seen as a particular kind of Extension. If we refactor it as an actual Extension, one could choose about using it or not

I like this naming: "core plug-ins" and "add-on plug-ins", it makes very clear that OJ is actually a container with some core plug-ins hard plugged into it by the JUMPConfiguration class. I don't like arrangement too much because if you want to remove a core plug.in, you have to change the Java c
