It sounds like you are combining your eclipse and your udig ... that is
not how this game works.
The uDig code base can be handled one of two ways:
1- as a standalone "target platform" - change your target platform in
the window preferences menu as described in the SDK Quickstart. It
sounds like this option is not working for you as we did not bundle
Solaris Specific SWT jars? If so unzip solaris specific SWT jars into
your SDK folder.
- if you go to your Run Dialog and select the plugins tab you can click
validate plugins to confirm you got everything needed.
2- as source code (sounds like you should try this one next?) - get your
eclipse set up and happy; check out the source code and import the
source code into your eclipse workspace
- when you run it will combine plugins from your workspace (the eclipse
plugins) with plugins from the target platform (in this case the eclipse
plugins themselves). But only plugins from eclipse that are needed will
be used (ie the eclipse plugins that form the RCP platform like SWT,
org.eclipse.ui, etc...)
If you continue to have problems you should stop by the IRC channel and
we can try and talk you through it ... to answer your qeustion
- the source code for eclipse is platform specific (the SWT jars are
provided for each platform)
- uDig is not something to be added to Eclipse; it is something to be
built with some of the same components that Eclipse uses (these bare
bones components are called the RCP Platform).

Okay, I still can't get this to work. I downloaded the Eclipse 3.2
sdk (the last available sdk for solaris x86), and the uDig
udig-1.1-Jul23,200810.47.54PM-sdk.
I add the lines from udig config into the eclipse config.ini, and
added all of the features and plug-ins into the respective folders.
Now when I launch elcipse, it says Udig, but when it loads up it's
just Eclipse.
I was going to try to build them together with the eclipse source and
the udig source, but I'm wondering, why is the source for UDig
platform specific, is not pure Java?
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
