Re: [udig-devel] udig-1.2 for linux and mac

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a few reports back that the linux download provided below does 
not work.

I expect that it probably wants a jre/ folder to be copied into the udig 
folder...or for Java to be available on the system?

I would like to ask someone to try .....
1. download the linux zip
2. unzip it
3. unzip the following jre into it 
http://udig.refractions.net/files/downloads/jre/jre1.6.0_04.linux.x86.zip

Actually one of the fun parts of uDig 1.2 is all the image-io ext stuff 
being included in the jre; I have this available for the windows users 
but we will need someone with access to linux to bundle everything up 
for the linux community as per the instructions here:
