Hi Jody, thanks for the quick response.
I'm using uDig 1.1.1.
Does uDig access the JDBC drivers from the location specified in the
preferences or does it copy them to the uDig install tree? It looks
like it does the latter.
These are the log messages from the attempted connection to the DB2
for z/OS database. This is after filling in the all the connection
parameters & database name and then clicking on the drop-down box for
Schema:
!ENTRY net.refractions.udig.catalog.ui 4 0 2008-12-02 06:45:30.343
!MESSAGE
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException

at
net.refractions.udig.catalog.ui.wizard.DataBaseRegistryWizardPage.focusGained(Unknown

There is no error message displayed. It just shows the progress bar
for a few seconds and stays in the same state.
The same symptoms occur if you specify some invalid parameters like
port number for a valid DB2 LUW database.
Is the uDig source still available? I looked in
http://svn.geotools.org/tags/udig1.1 but this seemed to be a version
of GeoTools source.

Is there anyplace to look for error messages?
The Help menu submit error log has it; as does the about box. The
online help has details...

Log messages are usually enabled via the Eclipse tracing
mechanism... here are docs for wms:

I am not sure what the right entries are for DB2....internally for
this stuff we kick the Java logging when the plugin starts up.
I tried to turn on Java logging by modifying
udig\eclipse\jre\lib\logging.properties but don't get any logging
output.
Also, the first time after uDig is installed and a DB2 layer is
selected, a dialog is displayed to select the location of the DB2
JDBC driver files. How does uDig know that this is the first time?
I think it checks to see if it has preference settings for the DB2
plugin.
To run with DB2 for z/OS, a different license file is required but
one doesn't get a second chance to specify the JDBC driver files.
I manually copied the file to the appropriate place in the uDig
install subdirectory but don't know if this solved the problem
since I still can't connect.
You can go into the preference page for DB2 and choose different
drivers later.
Can I ask what version you are using today David?
