[udig-devel] SampleProject.udig overwritten on opening

[Tony Bazeley <tonyb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Firstly my congratulations to all those involved in such an excellent 
integrative project.

I'm new to udig and have installed udig0.6 under XP and find that loading 
the sample project as suggested in the tutorial leaves an empty file

The sequence I follow is:

1. Do a clean install of udig
2. Start the programme by clicking on the Eclipse icon (which took a bit of 
research as I'm not too familiar with Eclipse RCP)
3. File-> Open Project-> navigate to the default directory in which 
SampleProject.udig is installed-> highlight -> OK
  - at this point examination of  SampleProject.udig reveals an empty file 
ie it has been overwritten
4. Close the welcome screen
5. Clicking on My Projects in the Projects view causes a redisplay of the 
Properties view at the bottom of the screen to read:
     Current Project:
     Projects: /SampleProject
6. To this point no error message has been generated, and double clicking 
on My Projects generates an error log, which is attached.

I've tried all of the methods of opening a project documented in the 
tutorial with the same outcome and any suggestions on how to proceed would 
be much appreciated.

While I think I get the broad concepts , could someone advise me whether it 
will be possible to download/upload data from/to my Garmin etrex in the 
near future, and if this is not likely to be possible suggest an 
alternative open source application or work around in the interim.

Cheers
Tony Bazeley
