MapClickEvent and Timer

Detailed description:

I want to implement a Timer to handle both onClick and doubleClick events
in order to properly draw and edit a polyline interactively, as found in
http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/poly/mymapstoolbar.html. 

To do this in GWT:

1) I have a PolylineMapClickHandler to handle the onClick events to add
vertices to the polyline.

2) I have a PolylineMapDoubleClickHandler to handle the doubleClick events
to add the last vertex and "close the loop" on the polyline.

In the PolylineMapClickHandler.onClick method, I wrap an onClickDelay (that
draws the vertex in question) with a 2 second Timer delay. I expect that
each single click I give on the map is delayed 2 seconds before adding the
vertex, which it is.

In the PolylineMapDoubleClickHandler.onDoubleClick method, I cancel the
scheduled Timer, and close the loop on the polyline. I expect that the
single-click event (which draws another leg of the polyline) will NOT fire,
but even after a 2 second delay it does fire, adding an extra line and
vertex to my polyline.

Perhaps I have coded the timer improperly, or expect it to work within
onClick and doubleClick events when it really does not? 

Attached is my eclipse project (same code as Issue 149). If you fix up the
classpaths and launch it, try to create a square with the polyline tool by
double clicking on your third vertex to close the poly. Watch the GWT shell
for logs that indicate the Timer is not cancelled properly.

Environment: Mac OS X 10.4.11

Have you seen the latest setEditable() and setDrawing() methods added to 
Polyline and
Polygon?  If you grab and compile the latest trunk, you'll see a 
"DrawingDemo.java"
that uses these new features.  It basically implements interactive drawing much 
like
what you are talking about.

It sounds like Eric's setEditable/setDrawing suggestion will give you what you 
want.  Please reopen this issue if 
that is not the case.
