Description
Need the ability to generate multiple new link annotations for a user-selected sub-set (or complete set) of results matching a text search.
This would be special variant of the standard text-search panel. Users would begin by performing a standard text search. Once the results were displayed they could select/deselect individual matches (or select deselect all matches at once). Each match from the selected search result subset would then have a new link annotation created for it, based on a single set of link annotation properties specified by the user (they would all have the same attributes).
The thinking is that a wizard UI model would work well for this:
1. Search
2. Select matches to create annotations for.
3. Enter annotation attributes for all selected matches.
4. Create annotations.

The twoexample has been created and I must say is pretty slick. Here are a couple important notes about the demos, this is also in the class javadoc.
new example is located in ./examples/annotation/NewAnnotationPrePageLoad.java
- example show how to build a new annotation out of search results word bounds and the addition of an annotation action, URI or Goto.
- This example code is meant for non visual annotation creation and runs before the view is created. .
new example is located in ./examples/annotation/NewAnnotationPostPageLoad.java
- example show how to build a new annotation out of search results word bounds and the addition of an annotation action, URI or Goto.
- This example code is meant to show how visual annotation creation works and runs after the view is created. .
