After some discussions with Larry, Martin and others, I've decided to kill BizzJUMP, my independent fork of OpenJUMP, at least for the moment. This will allow me to contribute more of my efforts to OpenJUMP, and will help me avoid contributing to the name or brand dilution problem JUMP has.
The first step in BizzJUMP's death will be the migration of BizzJUMP plug-ins to OpenJUMP. I've got to make some code changes to the plug-ins, because I was working with a modified plug-in management system. One of the other migration issues is the location of the menu items for the plug-ins in the OpenJUMP menu system. Here is where my plug-ins currently install: Super Select Tool Plug-In: Edit > Select > Super Select Tool Select Modified Features Plug-In: Edit > Select > Select Modified Visible Features Attribute Adder Plug-In: Attributes > Utilities > Add Attributes From CSV Find and Replace Layer Name Plug-In: Tools > Layers > Find and Replace In Layer Names Count Features Plug-In: Tools > Layers > County Features In Layer GPX Import Plug-In: Tools > GPS > Import GPX File Survey Point Import Plug-In: Tools > Survey Points > Import PNEZD Point File I think I need to make some changes to these menu locations in order to play well with OpenJUMP. Here is my first question: Should I integrate the GPX and Survey Point import plug-ins into the "Open File" system? My Survey Point plug-in looks for files with the CSV extension. Might this cause conflicts with some other plug-ins? Should all of the other plug-ins move under the top-level tools menu? Should I add a single "SurveyOS" entry under the tools menu where I group all of my plug-ins? Or should they be organized by functionality under the tools menu instead? I should note I won't be including these plug-ins in the core. They will be distributed separately, but I want to coordinate their integration into the GUI with the other OpenJUMP programmers. Thanks for the help.
