What manual are you reading? This one would be good:
http://openmap.bbn.com/doc/OpenMapDevGuide.pdf
If you want to embed OpenMap into an existing application, you would
use the BasicMapPanel, which is a JPanel. It uses an
openmap.properties file in the classpath to configure itself, or you
can give it a properties file to use. You can then design a Layer
that works with your application, and add that to the BasicMapPanel,
where it will get added to the map automatically. For your layer,
you can extend an existing Layer, or write your own (I'd recommend
extending OMGraphicHandlerLayer).
Hope this helps,
Don
