I just checked and OpenJump already has this feature implemented. To see it in action, (in a new task) create a new layer by dragging out a few rectangles. Then Save Dataset As... "test.shp". Now add some linstrings to the layer and choose Save Selected Datasets. It should move the linstrings

I agree with Larry, Despite that, I have often wanted to increase linewidth on a Color theming style layer. IMHO, the Color theming should overload the basic style, not the other way. A solution to change linewidth in the color theming layer could be to add a linewidth option "in the color style

I may be wrong, and I'm too lazy to actually test it, but I think the last "return null" is indeed reached. The catch kind of "kills" the exception, it eats it up, so, with the exception gone, execution resumes right after the catch block, and the "return null" _is_ reached. That's why the compil
