Hello

 

Thanks for your help. I notice that this mailing list works. (I am new
in this free software stuff)

 

Now it is my turn to help a little.

 

I've found that my problem was caused for "my" particular behaviour as a
"windows user": "just plug and play". So I don't read all the
instructions:
http://www.refractions.net:8080/confluence/display/DEV/0+SDK+Quickstart

 

Maybe I can give a few suggestions: 

 

*       In the installation and download web page you should aggregate
one link or an standing out to the "windows", "visual studio", "visual
basic", etc. users (really something similar already exist but it seems
it doesn't work fine for me) that encourage to them to follow the
instructions on the web page indicate before. 

 

*       Also I noticed that the svn component takes its time to download
the latest version of the program and there are a couple of downloads
that exceeds the 100 Megabytes, so a "common" windows user means "a lot
of time" to download, you should warning them on it, and aggregate
something like "this is the way of software free community makes its
development effort". Believe me, not all the windows users likes
extended downloading time.

 

*       Also you should standing out the mailing list time response (I
see that it is hours or one day as a maximum). It is know that windows
users doesn't like this way to "support" their applications but I see
that it works

 

 

By the way, I have another question: Yesterday I can configure the udig
and eclipse environment but I can't compile the udig application. The
question it is not how can I compile the complete udig application, but
if it is possible only to configurate the eclipse environment (until the
step 2 in the eclipse preferences in the web page mentioned before) in
order to develop udig plug-ins

 

Thanks a lot

 

 

Elias Ruiz
