Hi Frank,
+1 on the hack you suggest. I believe this would work.

Andrea,
Absolutely agree, this would not work because of missing jars in
classpath. I tried to find a way to give the eclipse launcher an
external classpath but haven't found anything yet. Because of multiple
classloaders there is no way to work with classpath settings. The RFC
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/native+support+bundles+for+java+advanced+imaging
would solve this because jai libs and natives are bundled and would
not required jai in the JRE.
HACK : What about making symbolic links from udig_home/jre to the
open-jdk-7 installation files/folders and let the jai/imageio jars
locally in the lib/ext folder. To make sure udig uses the right JRE
set the launcher option "-vm" to the udig_home/jre path.
All other options would require a new release and of course a finished
RFC ;) --> next release cycle of OSGeo Live is much more realistic
BTW: Any news from Andrew about JAI/ImageIO Licensing and
redistributing as a bundle (see RFC again)
Cheers,
Frank

I moved the jai binaries and jars into a custom folder under udig.
Then I added this line on start of udig.sh, right under the gdal line:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/udig/jai/ext/
That would work for the native libs, but then you do not have the jars
in the classpath.
Also I am not sure if that then picks imageio-ext.
I am afraid I am not following this discussion tightly, but the above
can't work in my opinion.
Frank, you worked on this, do you have opinions about this?

2. use a pure java implementation of uDig without JAI
I am not keen to make a special copy of uDig just for the live dvd.
The open ticket is here: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/922
Thoughts?
You only mentioned JAI here; are you also looking at ImageIO and
ImageIO-Ext? Other projects such as Geomajas are more likely to conflict on
the copy of ImageIO-Ext and GDAL used.
I did not touch either ImageIO or GDAL, since udig seemed to open every file
I tested just with JAI moved around.
