Will someone please get Stefan a chair? (He is going to pass out when
he reads the next sentence.) :]

I have finally finished some functional code for OpenJUMP. You can now
download the alpha release of the Super Select Tool from the SurveyOS
SourceForge site. This tool allows the user to control the behavior of
feature selection, and to send selected features to a designated layer
with a single button click. The behavior of the tool can be configured
by the user, and the configuration settings can be saved.

I've spent the last two (2) weeks squishing bugs, but this is an alpha
release because I'm sure there are still some bugs lurking around in
my code. Please report any problems with the tool to me so I can get
them corrected.

Over the course of the next two or three weeks I will be making the
following improvements to the Super Select Tool:

- Add a checkbox to the configure dialog box that allows the user to
turn off the warning when features being copied to the destination
layer will be erased from the source layer.

- Replace the "save configuration settings" and "help" button icons.

- Add context sensitive help documentation in PDF format that can be
called up with a button on all Super Select dialog boxes.

- Implement the Super Select tool as a plug-in that uses my Plug-In
Dependency System.

- Internationalize the Super Select Plug-In.

- Add or improve Javadoc and source code comments for the following classes:
   ToolboxPlugIn
   ToolboxDialog
   AbstractSelection
   FeatureSelection
   SelectionManager
   SelectTool

- Add programmer documentation on OpenJUMP's selection system and
implementing a toolbox for cursor tools.

I hope you guys enjoy the tool. I'll make an effort to complete more
of my projects so Stefan won't feel dizzy when I actually finish
something. :]

Note: The tool requires a method that I added to the DialogUtil class,
so you can't try it out unless you build the code from the SVN today
or wait for tomorrow's nightly build.

You can download the source code and JAR file for the Super Select Plug-In here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=122820

Note: The source code still needs some reorganizing and comments.

P.S. - To install the tool create a folder named "surveyos" in
OpenJUMP's /lib/ext directory. In this folder place the JAR file
downloaded from sourceforge and the attached configuration file. I
will include this file and installation instructions in the next
release of the tool. :]
