Oh - there is a community plugin that save the current selection as a 
shapefile, and adds it to the current map. I want to generalize this so 
you can choose the target (Postgis, Shapefile, etc...).

Although I have considered just making it produce a new layer backed by 
a MemoryDataStore, and then people can export that layer out to Postgis, 
Shapefile, etc...

Is this the kind of thing you are looking for? If so it is available 
under my name in the community section ... feel free to hack it up as 
needed. At the very least it can serve as an example for making a new 
layer (I had to duck Jesse's api as I was using uDig 1.0.x code).
