As you have figured out there is more then one extension point (for 
different things). The extension points you have just implemented let 
uDig "hold" your resources in the catalog. The next step is to supply a 
fancy wizard or DnD support. I am going to ask Richard to look up the 
details for you (since my machine being worked over by an oracle install 
right now).

Are you just dragging and dropping a file right now?

Sure - there is a "spike" section for just this kind of stuff (ie RnD 
experiments). Make a directory and go nuts (do you have svn access yet?).
