Re: [udig-devel] Beginning uDig plugin development; need some help...
In addition to Franks advice on the JRE…

The SDK Quickstart is intended for training courses (and thus only reviewed when we teach one! Or when a volunteer such as yourself gives it a go).

We try and encourage active developers to follow our development environment instructions (and fork uDig on github) so you can easily feed us fixes as needed. That is purely us being greedy (we have to encourage developer involvement after all).

So give the SDK a go (it can be great on a computer like a netbook with less horse power), and consider the development environment instructions as a backup plan.

Hello all,

I am new to uDig and I plan to develop a plugin for uDig for my thesis project (migrating from QGIS development to uDig).

I am trying to follow SDK Quickstart but I want to make sure the info is up to date first. I have an existing Eclipse environment for other developments and I want to use it and the existing JRE/JDK for this project if it is possible.

So what are the necessary tools to install/configure on my existing Eclipse platform to begin development of uDig plugins?

The mentioned PDF talks about the SDK, Eclipse modeling tools, a 'dropins' download, a special JRE (with gdal, ecw), a RCP delta pack... It seems these information is a little bit outdated. Can you list some basic steps to get a working environment without installing a special JRE or a new Eclipse platform, if it is at all possible?

Thank you very much,
Cagil
