Just curious about the embedding Google Map or any other Web Map on OpenJump. Is there a possibility implement the same in the long shot using the OpenLayers API (web Api) and then introducing the same using this OpenLayers Interface as Implementation to the background layer. It would be really the best this thing to implement. As it would more over depend on the OpenLayers implementation than Google Map.
this is how is see it too. google maps mixed in an openlayers mash-up is effectively running in a 'browser' and so why cannot openjump also be considered a 'browser' of sorts(safari, firefox, opera, etc.). users can run as localhost, applying for their google maps url api(localhost/127.0.0.1 or whatever). and of course, it is the responsibility of each user to dal with google maps in terms of 'commercial' licensing, should they so elect to do so. or am off base here?

It just a suggestion... ;)
Rgds.

Google and the other providers typically only allow access to their tile layer using their web sites and web APIs. This is in part because they license the data from other parties for a specific purpose.

I like very much the feature proposal:
"Use Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Mapquest, Open Street Maps map layer as background layer"
