Larry,
It's a really nice plugin. Any reason you avoid using generics in the code? I
like the readability that generics brings.
Question about the deployment of the plugin: does the mvn build process has the
structure to build it as a standalone plugin? It looks like the source code is
part of the built-in plugin but you don't have reference to the plugin in the
jump configuration.
Thanks
Bing

Subject: Re: [JPP-Devel] Combine and Explode Layers
I have finally gotten around to implementing the plugin (mentioned in my post
below) that extracts layers using a common attribute. It is especially good
for extracting DXF layers using the Layer and Text attributes, which is my
primary use case. I have committed the code with I18n references. I'll add
the strings to the language property files as soon as possible. Comments are
welcome. Look for it at the bottom of the Edit menu in the nightly build.
regards,
Larry Becker

I'm thinking of creating two new plugins for Layers that are similar to the
"Combine Selected Features" and its inverse "Explode Selected Features".
However, the new plugins would be "Combine Selected Layers" and "Explode
Layer". Explode Layer would include the existing "Edit->Extract Layers by
Geometry Type" functionality, and add the capability to explode a layer by
attribute value. That is, it would create a new layer for each unique value of
a given attribute. One possible use for this would be to break up a DXF import
layer by original layer name. You could also break up a layer that you are
colour theming, do some operations, and then recombine it.
Combine Selected Layers would allow you to combine LineString, Point, and
Polygon shapefile layers into a single layer to save as GML or other
multi-geometry tolerant format. Attributes would, of course, be preserved.
Preservation of BasicStyle information is also possible with a kind of
auto-theming. All changes would be done by replicating features to new layers,
leaving the original layers undisturbed.
"Step right up ladies and gentlemen, it's the OJ-matic! Slices one layer so
thin, it will last all winter." :-)
Any thoughts?
regards,
Larry
