[udig-devel] Documenting Axios Tools

So I am trying out the Axios community plugin w/ RC14 and am finding a 
few things. I have added installation instructions to the wiki here:
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Axios+uDig+Extensions

Some observations are silly:
- split tool sets the busy cursor and never returns .. when you try and 
split a North Arrow (changing tools restores things). My guess is the 
tool tries to cast to a FeatureStore and fails; and is not prepared to 
handle the result?

Some things are not:
- split tool sets the busy cursor and never returns ... when you try and 
split a shapefile
- trim line tool does not handle the accept action (double clicking and 
pressing return are both ignored)

Some things are great:
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Merge+Tool

And I had a couple of questions; when I run these tools as a developer 
there are a few contributions to control snapping behavior added to the 
toolbar; when I run from RC14
these contributions are not visible. Have they been moved somewhere? Or 
are they part of an action set I need to enable. I also looked in the 
Edit Tool preferences at the list of snapping behavours and could not 
see any sign of them.

Cheers,
Jody
