How to edit and use text produced by Feature InfoTool?

Question

How can I access and use text from Feature InfoTool dialog. I'm working with JMapFrame. I found this snippet:

         InfoTool tool = new InfoTool() {
         @Override
         public void onReporterUpdated() {
             String text = getTextReporterConnection().getText();
             System.out.println(text);
         }
     };

but I don't see how to link this to my JMapFrame. So basically I don't know how to get InfoTool from JMapFrame.

Instead of writing out the text value save it to a field in your class and use it like any other value.

String infoText = ""; 
InfoTool tool = new InfoTool() {
     @Override
     public void onReporterUpdated() {
         infoText = getTextReporterConnection().getText();

     }
 };
