| Hi Jesse:                 
thanks for that pointer, it fixed my problem and I was able to display GeoTIFF 
files with the Mantario Trail SHAPE file superimposed upon them. I currently 
have 6 6Mb GeoTIFF files shown.   I tried translating one of our MrSID images into 
GeoTIFF to display much more of the trail, but the GeoTIFF ended up being 600Mb 
and uDig couldn't seem to handle that. It would be a lot better if uDig 
supported MrSID files which we release a lot of our imagery on the MLI here in 
Manitoba in. Or else if you can't support MrSID because of proprietary issues 
conflicting with the LGPL license then at least if you supported JPEG2000 would 
be an option. I couldn't translate this file into ECW because of a GDAL 500k ECW 
SDK issue and anyway uDig doesn't support ECW.      Bob This is a frusterating problem that I have not been able to 
solve.  It seems that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  I 
found a hack that works though.  in the short cut add:
 
 -vmargs -Dosgi.parentClassloader=ext 
 that worked for me.  I will update the install script.

 I am 
  trying to include 6 GeoTIFF files in my uDig project and am getting errors 
  when I do this. The error message under the GeoTIFF category is:

  can not be read.  Could be a JAI configuration problem or a corrupted 
  file.  Error recieved was: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ImageRead:

 So I listed the information about one of the images using 
  GDALINFO and got this 
  output:
