Mark,
Just a note that menu items in the GUI are configurable using the
plugin_jpf.xml in the repast.simphony.gui project. You can actually
create your own project and use your own plugin_jpf.xml to add items
to the gui but it sounds like you want to go deeper than that.
The important parts of the plugin_jpf.xml are the menus and the
actions. For example,
<extension plugin-id="saf.core.ui" point-id="ui.Menus" id="ui.menus">
..
<parameter id="menuSpec">
<parameter id="menuID" value="repast.simphony.ui.run_menu"/>
<parameter id="label" value="&Run"/>
</parameter>
..
</extension>
defines the run menu. Items are added to the menu by associating
actions with that menuID.
<extension plugin-id="saf.core.ui" point-id="ui.Actions" id="rs.ctions">
...
<parameter id="actionSpec">
<parameter id="actionID"
value="repast.simphony.ui.action.start"/>
<parameter id="label" value="&Start"/>
<parameter id="class"
value="repast.simphony.ui.action.StartRun"/>
<parameter id="icon" value="player_play.png"/>
<parameter id="menuID" value="repast.simphony.ui.run_menu"/>
<parameter id="groupID" value="run"/>
<parameter id="tooltip" value="Start Run"/>
</parameter>
...
</extension>
The class in the above is the name of a class that extends
AbstractSAFAction and whose actionPerformed method is called whenever
that action is executed. The menuID is the id of the menu where an
entry is created for this action. The grouID is the group for this
action in a toolbar.
There's lots more to say here but if you poke around the source and
look at some of the comments in the plugin_xml.jpf file that should
get you part of the way there. Feel free to ask more questions as
well, although the list is slower over the holiday break.
