yep.. the content sounds good. I would additionally suggest the topics from wiki and the vividsolutions doc: a) the Hello World-PlugIn (should be probably the first thing to present.. directly after introducing the PlugIn/-Interface So you start with an example and then refer in the description to the parts that will be explained in detail in the next chapters/paragraphes. b) ways to programming and testing a plugin (I mean here that writing an Extension is the last step, and that one should plugins in a separate project... see the wiki)
For the topic: Accessing OpenJUMP Internal’s From A Plug-In I would the bring in detail the frequently asked topics: . accessing features from a layer (requires Layer selection + some parameter) . modifying geometries (i.e. a buffer), set attributes . create a new layer . create a new feature collection (i.e. the use of FeatureSchema) + layer (see also the wiki example ;) The first thing to do before writing, may be to set up a style template (I guess Uwe used something alike for his tutorial). This is helpful if somebody else will particpate in writing (using unique naming for styles). Be here careful with the use of unusual fonds (i.e. check that they are build-in for the word-processor or choice on every OS. If doubts exists, then rather go with a serife-less common known fond such as Areal or Verdana). I know actually some Word-Templates from publishers that could be used after some changes. Are you using Word or OpenOffice or the doc-book stuff?
