I am afraid I missed the GeoTools meeting last night and was unable to add this topic to the Agenda. I will try and include it for next time; however initial feedback on the email list indicates: - general support for the idea of testing on more platforms - automatic windows testing as a bigger issue; one Ben is running a build box for - no volunteers for hardware to test openjdk on > One suggestion I have made in the past is to manually install a single > instance of sun-java on the disk and ask all projects to use this > version instead of bundling their own jre. > > If that version has ImageIO-Ext / GDAL (symbolic links in the jre/bin directory should work) then uDig would be able to use it out of the box; and not ship with its own. Indeed rather than messing with environmental variables; a symbolic link "ire" can be added to the "udig" application directory pointing to the location of the sun JRE. > I agree that a code sprint would be a great opportunity to test this. > > Cheers, Jody
