It is really ok for and I am happy this leads to a serious kml tool. I
added the functionality without very deep thought, more based on what
geotools already had. So I am +1 for this.
the only thing I would do is to move it to a:
eu.udig.tools.kml
or maybe even
eu.udig.kml
since it has surely nothing to do with jgrass.
Are you planning to make it a kind of datastore, i.e. load kml
directly in the catalog? Or would it be more a import/export tool?

That all sounds great to me.
Thanks Frank!
