Re: Help identifying problem with PlugInContext.getLayerManager method...

Paul,

I didn't realize that I need to set the plug-in context in the
execute() method and not in the initialize() method. I will make that
change.

I wonder why I wasn't getting a null-pointer exception when my code
executed. Is it because I am inside the event-dispatch thread?

Thanks for the help.

Landon
