Stefan mentioned that there isn't a road map for OJ, but is there a place to jot down improvement ideas?
Here are a couple on my wishlist: 1) The ability to specify which columns are editable in an layer's attribute table. Right now, the FID and geometry column are hard-coded as being the only columns that are not editable. I would like to see this driven off the layer's FeatureSchema. Perhaps there could be a "isAttributeReadOnly(int attributeIndex)" method added to the FeatureSchema that could be used in LayerTableModel.isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex). Primary key attributes that belong to a DynamicFeatureCollection driven off a database is one example of a non-editable column. 2) The ability to customize the tooltips for previously installed plugins on a layer's right click context menu. For example, I could have a custom implementation of a Layer that is backed by a custom FeatureCollection. If I mark the layer as readonly, the "Editable" menu item is correctly greyed-out. The tooltip says something like "This layer cannot be made editable." The menu item is greyed-out ... obviously it's not editable. I would like to change the tooltip to explain *why* the menu item is greyed-out ... which is particular to my custom FeatureCollection. IE. "No Primary Key found on the underlying database table" "Adhoc queries cannot be made editable" "SQL Server DataStores cannot currently be made editable" 3) A new UpdatablePlugIn interface with methods like getPluginVersion(), getPluginURL(). All implementations of the interface could be listed in the extensions tag in the About window. A user could choose to update a selected plugin where a new plugin jar and all the jar's dependencies would automatically download, available upon application restart. I know, I know. This would require a huge framework and lots of developer time, but it sure would be nice to have.
