Re: [udig-devel] uDig in OSGeoLive 6.0 without JAI
Hi Jody,

We have 2 options:
1. find a way for uDig to load JAI through a custom directory (even

Do you have a link to what you tried in this respect?

We have an outstanding change request to package the binaries up inside uDig; this would prevent them being shared with other applications
on the disk; and would result in uDig shipping a second copy of GDAL. While this is smaller then uDig having its own JRE; it would be preferable from a size point of view if you could get the script to work.

I moved the jai binaries and jars into a custom folder under udig.
Then I added this line on start of udig.sh, right under the gdal line:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/udig/jai/ext/


      

        
2. use a pure java implementation of uDig without JAI




      

      
I am not keen to make a special copy of uDig just for the live dvd. 


      

        
The open ticket is here: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/922




      

      

      

        
Thoughts?




      

      
You only mentioned JAI here; are you also looking at ImageIO and ImageIO-Ext?  Other projects such as Geomajas are more likely to conflict on the copy of ImageIO-Ext and GDAL used.

    

    I did not touch either ImageIO or GDAL, since udig seemed to open
    every file I tested just with JAI moved around.

    

      

Jody
