The link between udig and a geotools data store is the catalog. You will need
to extend the net.refractions.udig.catalog.ServiceExtension
extenstion point. This involves the implementation of three classes.
1. net.refractions.udig.catalog.ServiceExtension, which is responsible for
taking in connection parameters (a url in the case of most file data
stores) and creating a service from it.
2. net.refractions.udig.catalog.IService, the handle to your data store.
3. net.refractions.udig.catalog.IGeoResource, the handle to you feature
source.
After the catalog handles have been written, all you should need to do is add
another file format by extending the
net.refractions.udig.catalog.ui.fileFormat extension point.
For an example, check out the net.refractions.udig.catalog.shp plugin.
Your dxf catalog plugin will end up looking very similar to it.
