Thank you for this. ( Big sigh if relief !! ) I will investigate the GeoTools API. Michelle

That is a geotools issue. To create a new shapefile do something like:
IndexedShapefileDatastoreFactory fac=new IndexedShapefileDataStoreFactory();
ShapefileDataStore ds=fac.createDatastore( url );
ds.createSchema( featureType );
List<IService> service =
CatalogPlugin.getDefault().getServiceFactory().acquire(url);
Now you have a service with which you can get the resource and create a layer
from the resource.

Hi!
This is probably a daft question, but I have had a hunt around the API
and can't figure it out.
If I want to create new layers programmatically on the drop of my icons
and I want that data to be stored in a shapefile,
Are there classes/methods in uDig to create a new shapefile for a new
layer, or do I have to create the shapefile myself somehow?
