Details of problems
uDig 1.2.2 was installed in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\u4cnncre\My
Documents\..." on a Windows XP computer. Sample data layers, HortonMachine
modules library, and generic GIS modules libraries were installed in a
subfolder. When attempting to open the Spearfish elevation .asc sample file,
uDig couldn't open the file. After the elevation .asc and .prj files were moved
to "C:\tmp\", file opened properly.
When attempting to run Spatial Toolbox -> HortonMachine module -> Geomorphology
-> aspect tool, aspect tool failed when java class "and" couldn't be found.
After uDig and libraries were reinstalled in "C:\uDig\" folder, program worked
properly.
Diagnosis
uDig is passing all script parameters as a single string without placing quotes
around each parameter. File URLs containing spaces which should be identified
as a single parameter are incorrectly identified as multiple parameters. uDig
fails the operation with error messages unclear to casual users. (ArcView 2.1
had the exact same problem back in the 1990's with its spatial extension.)
