Brian, please note, that uDig is shipped and installed with its own JRE. To verify which JRE is used open the "About uDig" Dialog in the launched Application (Menu -> Help -> About uDig". In the opened Dialog you will find a "installation Details" Buttown left below, hit it and switch afterwards to the "Configuration" tab.
For the uDig installation (1.2.2) you will see something like this: java.home=/usr/lib/udig/jre java.runtime.version=1.6.0_25-b06 To test against the installed JRE please go through: * goto /usr/lib/udig with terminal/shell (cd /usr/lib/udig) * type "sudo mv jre jreXXX" and type the password afterwards (user) * start uDig again and in the same About Dialog mentioned above you will see java.home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk (or something like this, but not the bundled JRE from /usr/lib/udig) Start testing the Walkthrough to verify everything is fine: http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/udig_quickstart.html Cheers, Frank 2012/5/29 Brian Hamlin <[email protected]>: > Hi All- > > you know that GeoTools and the Java apps are very important to this disk.. > I personally want to get this resolved the best way it can.
