Good, It looks like you are making progress.
Tip: to be sure that the refactoring task is right. If the axios tools have a
test case, you could port first the junit test then refactor the tool and
execute the test to be sure that you are not lost any thing. It the tool
hasn't got a test you could provide one.
You will find some test in plugins/eu.udig.tools.tests

You should offer yourself as volunteer to make this task (or subtask).
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1911
Jody could offer some help about the requirements. Please, send an email to the
email list to offer your help for this task (then update the UDIG-1911 to "in
progress")

You could create a branch for the new version of "Merge" then you can hack
without worries about your main task. I you found a good solution then back to
tour master merging the new features.
