Re: [udig-devel] Switch Active Tool Programmatically

[Jesse Eichar <jeichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been informed that there are two poorly named methods:

findTool() and getTool().  I've asked richard to deprecate getTool()  
and rename it to getToolAction()  it is the getTool() or getToolAction 
() methods that need to be called, NOT findTool().
