Hi Kurt,
There is support for moving a single geometry but not to rotate or to
move a collection of geometries.
Here is one way you might accomplish this:
Create a new tool that is similar to the Edit tool but add an
activation behaviour that puts all the selected features on the edit
blackboard
Create a behaviour similar to the MoveGeometryBehaviour that moves all
the geometries on the edit blackboard
Optionally add a rotation behaviour to the tool
The work flow for this would be:
Activate the selection tool (not edit tool) select some features,
copy, paste, activate your tool, move features to new location.
Another idea might be to create a new paste operation that pastes the
features on the edit blackboard at the location of the mouse pointer
and then you would use a tool with the move all geoms and rotate
behaviours to fine tune the position.

I'm new to uDig development (also relatively new to using it).
The mapping I'm doing entails creating many similarly sized polygons
adjacent to one-another. Think of parking spaces that are all the
same size in many, many parking lots. The ability to highlight a
group of them, copy, then paste and move new ones together would
really speed things up for me. Rotating them in place as a group
would be helpful, too.
I've begun looking into Jesse's code behind the edit plug-in and am
starting to see how one might add the above functionality. However,
I wanted to make sure I haven't missed a uDig plug-in that's already
been written to do this before getting too deep into it.
Suggestions welcome.
