[udig-devel] layer deprecated getGeoResource( type ) needs to come back

[Jesse Eichar]

The getResource methods are blocking but not blocking.  IE even when  
called in the UI they will not block the UI thread so updates will  
occur to the UI.  However it is synchronous so that the thread that  
calls it will not continue on until a result is obtained.
