The thing that makes this not-so-obvious is that OpenMap layers
override the paint() method so that the
com.bbn.openmap.layer.policy.RenderPolicy object handles the rendering
of the OMGraphicList, instead of using the paint(...) method hierarchy
of the Swing ancestry.
The easiest thing to do is extend a RenderPolicy class and set that on
your layer. You'll probably want the RenderPolicy object to call
paintAll(java.awt.Graphics) on the layer. In addition to painting the
OMGraphicList.
RenderPolicy object can be set in the layer's constructor, or you can
set it in the properties, too.
Hope this helps,
Don
