the glass pane is also a concept, and has an impl in udig for you to
annotate yours maps. Other solutions for your problem are (1) use a normal
layer and programmatically ensure it's always on top, and (2) use a
MapGraphic. there are good examples on the svn (code examples and
tutorial). I'm afraid the examples are not easy to understand, as one
requires a lot of background on eclipse.


I was thinking in a Udig layer

What layer is it? Shapefile, DB, ? I'm sure you can implement in udig what
you want, but there are ways which are more appropriate than others.
