I'm only new to this so forgive me if I'm barking up the wrong tree, I
was digging around in the CatalogPlugin plugin and think that's what
you're looking for.
You can manually create your service and add it to the catalog like so.
IServiceFactory serviceFactory =
CatalogPlugin.getDefault().getServiceFactory();
IService service = serviceFactory.createService(new URL("file://"+path
<file://%22+path/> ));
try {
IServiceInfo info = service.getInfo( null ); // try connecting to
make sure the service works
if (info != null) {
CatalogPlugin.getDefault().getLocalCatalog().add( service ); //
add service
}
}catch (IOException couldNotConnect ){
service.dispose(new NullProgressMonitor());
}
However the catalog provides the acquire method that will do all the
work for you.
IService service =
CatalogPlugin.getDefault().getLocalCatalog().acquire(new
URL("file://"+path <file://"+path> ), new NullProgressMonitor());
Simply call this from your menu contribution and provide the path to
your GeoTiff.
One thing to note is that the acquire method douse not guarantee that a
geotiff service will be used to render your layer. If it I important
that your layer use a geotiff render you will have to use the manual
service creation method.

Subject: [udig-devel] add GeoTifff Image
Hi,
I wuold like to add a geoTiff image on a 2D map simply pressing
a button.
The functionality is the same as "right click on a map" -> "add
files" -> "and select a GeoTiff image"
but I don't know which classes I should use and in which way.
Thanks.
Alberto
