[udig-devel] Modal tool deactivation

[Damjan Šavko]

OK Jesse. Would you happen to know if the problem with using the
DrawShapeCommand-s in RC2 is also a bug or did something change from M7 to
RC2?

>From last mail:

Also I've noticed that my drawing tools are acting very strange. To draw on
the map I use the folowing commands:

rect = new Rectangle(e.x - 10, e.y -10, 10, 10);
            dsc = context.getDrawFactory().createDrawShapeCommand(rect,
java.awt.Color.GREEN, 1, 1);
            dsc.setShape(rect);
            dsc.setValid (true);
            context.sendASyncCommand(dsc);
and
            dsc.setValid(false);
            context.sendASyncCommand(dsc);
to erase.

Do you know what were the changes from uDigM7 to uDigRC2 that caused my
plugins to stop working?
