Thank you Stefan and Larry for the comments. I will try to find the code for the "replicate" function.
I don't think I have a case of featurititis. (At least I hope not.) The Super Select tool was designed to solve a specific problem I was having. I was trying to select large sets of LineStrings from which I could create polygons. My general procedure went something like this: [1] Create a new, empty Layer. [2] Select the LineStrings. [3] Copy the selected LineStrings. [4] Paste the LineStrings in the new layer. [5] Generate the polygons. I thought having a "send to layer" button would eliminate the "copy" and "paste" steps. I could just select the features and hit the button, then select more features if I wanted to. In summary, I knew that OpenJUMP already had the ability to copy and paste features between layers. I'm just trying to make it a one-click process in my particular scenario. Maybe this isn't a feature everyone would use. I asked about the copying behvaior because I was curious how it worked, and because I want to allow the user to configure the copy.paste behavior of the SuperSelect tool. (For example, the user can specify that the tool should only paste Feature Geomerty when pasting features, and not any attributes, even if they match the FeatureSchema of the destination layer.) I hope I haven't annoyed you guys with my explanation. I really do appreciate everyone's feedback since my programming experience is really very limited.
