Hi,
Both options you have listed work but the second option is better tested
since that is how we deploy uDig and most of the other known
applications are designed. However there are obvious benefits to just
using the uDig plugins. For example you are less likely to have to check
out the uDig codebase.

Hello,
We want to develop an application based on the Eclipse RCP. This
application needs some mapping functionality. Because of the great map
editor, but also the catalog plugins for getting the data and the
basic visualization tools within uDig we really like to use these in
our own Eclipse RCP based application. I think that there are two ways
of realizing this.
1. Create a new Eclipse RCP application and use the udig plugins to
add the mapeditor (and catalog, basic tools plugin).
2. Use uDig as base platform, change the default ui and create new
specific plugins for our application
My first question is, which option is the best to get a mapeditor in
combination with our own plugins? I though option one because I don’t
change that much (only the plugin.xml) of the uDig plugins. But I
tried the first option but had problems to get the mapeditor working.
I find out that the minimal plugins needed to get uDig working are
Catalog
Catalog.ui
Core
Libs
Project
Project.edit
Project.ui
Style
Style.sld
Ui
I added these plugins to my workspace. Our application will not use a
project explorer, but it is no problem to use uDig projects
internally. But before removing the project explorer I just added it
as the only view to my application. I pressed the triangle which has
the menu option Open project. I opened a uDig project, I see that the
progressbar is loading the project but nothing is shown inside the
project explorer? What am I doing wrong?
Can somebody help me? Is there more documentation available? Is it
possible to use the uDig plugins (mapeditor, catalog, basic tools)
inside a new eclipse RCP? Or should I base my application on uDig.
Best regards,
Johan de Koning
