Hi,

I made some improvements in v 0.2 
(http://geo.michaelm.free.fr/OpenJUMP/resources/)
I added minority, majority, median, and tried to improve the user 
interface by adding some icons and examples.
I also changed its place, putting it in the tools menu, along with the 
other.
I'm still not in  hurry to include it, but if you say it's time to do 
it, I can help. I saw you took much time to fix bugs add plugins, 
translations and so many improvements. Nice you could add undo to some 
plugins, I'm sure many users will thank you for this addition (I never 
used undo capabilities of OJ code, but I have to, I add it on my todo 
list ;-)

Michaël
