Re: [udig-devel] opening an exisitng map programatically

[Jesse Eichar <jeichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Its late again, we waiting for a new minor release to upload to the
website and I've made a public PlatformGIS class for actions such as
creating and opening maps as well as getting the currently active map.
Take a peek it should be enough to get you going.  If you need more hack
here and we can clean it up when I get back.  (Try to not go too
crazy ;) ).

I decided against using commands to create maps and projects because it
would be too hard to keep track of yet another undo/redo stack.
(Although I might be persuaded otherwise at some point).  I haven't
added a call back yet to allow you to initialize the map that's created.
I'll see if I have time.
