| Hi Bob, 
 We are currently moving a branch of uDig to use Geotools trunk which has a wicked implementation of Geotiff.  It can render GB+ sized Geotiffs very efficiently as long as the overviews are generated.  I also think there is some JPEG2000 support somewhere on trunk.  However it will be a little while before it is completely stable.  But if you have the patience, helping us test it would really be great.   You've been a great help already.  I'll let you know when a Milestone from the branch comes out.

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:
 
 File   can not be read.  Could be a JAI configuration problem or a corrupted   file.  Error recieved was: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ImageRead:   No OperationDescriptor is registered in the current operation registry under   this name.
 
 So I listed the information about one of the images using   GDALINFO and got this   output:
