[udig-devel] setting field values of a new feature

[Jesse Eichar]

This is a really good question.  There is not API in Geotools to get  
the newly created features.  However in uDig, the edit feature (in  
the EditManager) should be set when a new feature is created and  
accepted.  By accepted I mean that the user has completed the feature  
and pressed enter or double clicked.

So register a listener with the EditManager and listen for Edit  
Feature events.  But be warned this is also called when a feature is  
selected for editing.  So you'll have to think about how to deal with  
that as well.
