Yes. The choice depends on your time frame and stability needs but I would strongly recommend trunk if you can stomach the rough start. 1.1 is based on geotools 2.2 which is from a long time ago. However, this is stable in that none of its dependencies are changing so if you can get it working it will stay in that same state for a long time. trunk/1.2 is based on geotools trunk (essentially 2.5) and uses eclipse 3.4 both of which have improved a good amount. Jesse is ironing out the issues with SDK generation so trunk promises to be a more flexible release as well as being more up to date. As for figuring out the OSGI stuff, it would be fantastic to have someone give us a better understanding of that framework and build a workaround for the one massive library bundle. --adrian _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel
