[udig-devel] Re: new tools category bar

[Jesse Eichar]

You can actually.  We want to eventually be able to do it via the  
standard menu bar way.  But for now what you need to do is:
1. Define a net.refractions.udig.project.ui.toolManagers extension  
point.  You can extend the default one and in the constructor you can  
sort the categories as you desire.  The default constructor of the  
super class will load them all.
2.  In your application's config file define a property:  
toolManager=<your extension id goes here>

The Extension id does NOT need to include the plugin id.
