Martin and Stefan, I used th Eclipse "search" function to locate the ReplicateSelectedItemsPlugIn. I will see if I can wire up some of the methods in this class to my button.
I figured out how to locate the code executed by any "built-in" menu item, and I have added a short snippet to the JPP wiki explaining how to do this. (I tried to add it to the OpenJUMP wiki, but it looks like it is down again.) You can find the wiki page here: http://thejumppilotproject.pbwiki.com/Tips_and_Tricks Hopefully this will help others benefit from my questions. Thank you for your patience with me.
