Hello,
I am new here. I'd like to learn to use Ugid, at the university I
learnt how to use arcview.
Which university are you at Laura? There are some academic course
material put together a year or so ago covering uDig (and several other
open source applications).
I installed it (on windows) and the installation was succesfull,
opened it, I tried to follow the walkthroug number 1
(http://udig.refractions.net/files/docs/uDigWalkthrough1.pdf) which
sounds quite easy, BUT I cannot load ANY layer of any kind!
That should work ..
I tried "CONNECTING TO A WEB MAP
SERVER" (page 11) and also I tried to open a shapefile that was on my
computer but I always get this error: Problems to connect to the wms
server. A reason of this could be: Unresolved compilation problem: The
method contains(String) is undefined for the type String
It sounds like the uDig application you downloaded included Java 5; and
that method String.contains( String ) is from Java 6. Can you let me
know which copy of uDig you downloaded so we can try and fix it?
Why? What's up with my u-dig?
I think we must of bundled it up wrong; can you try a download from the
following directory and see if it still has the problem:-

Cheers,

PS. Testing things like this is an easy way to contirbute to open source
projects! Thanks for your help.
