Some of you may remember the discussion I raised last autumn about getting rid of net.refractions.udig.libs and putting each library required by uDig into its own OSGi bundle a.k.a. Eclipse plug-in.
I announced that we would branch off to develop a solution to match our requirements, and we have now created the first release of our uDig subset under the name of udigLite (including osgified subsets of Geotools and GeoAPI). More details on udigLite, binary packages, building from source and changes we made can be found in the uDig Hacking wiki at http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/udigLite+-+An+OSGi-f riendly+subset To get an idea of why we are doing all this and what we are building on top of uDig, read the story in my blog: http://hwellmann.blogspot.com/2009/03/anaconda-workbench-udig-applicatio n.html Let me repeat that I would be more than happy if this work would be merged back into the uDig and Geotools mother projects rather sooner than later. For the time being, we will continue to work on our clones to have a stable basis for our own application. Everyone who is building applications on top of uDig and found himself trapped in third-party dependency hell as we have is invited to have a look at udigLite or volunteer to osgify additional libraries they might need.
