| Re: [udig-devel] uDig project files | 
Hi David,
The files are nicely buried.  The class StartupOpenMaps controls this  
behaviour.  If you want to disable this behaviour, it is controlled  
by a Project.UI preference.  There are a few ways to modify the  
preferences by using by: ProjectUIPlugin.getDefault 
().getPreferenceStore().setValue 
(PreferenceConstants.P_OPEN_MAPS_ON_STARTUP, false).
A second way to modify the preference if  you are creating a custom  
application, is to specify a properties file with the preferences you  
want to specify.  If you look at the net.refractions.udig plugin  
there is a file in the root called plugin_customizations.ini.  This  
file specifies some of the preferences we want to use in the uDig  
application.  You could copy that and add:
net.refractions.udig.project.ui/openMapsOnStartup = false
to the file.
There are probably more ways by changing environment variables and so  
on.  But you'll have to check the eclipse help for that.

Where in Windows does uDig keep the files that control what

all over in "Documents and Settings" and "My Documents" and can't

I'm trying to port a 2002-vintage ArcExplorer .axl application to  
uDig and need some file to control uDig startup.
The uDig File menu has an "Open Project" selection - what is it  
looking for?
