Fixed - good QA check! The file is "about.mappings" - wonder if we can get the
deploy script to update (or generate this one).

My understanding is the user needs to supply arcade jars in order for that
database to work; since this is expected often only "trace" such things in
debug mode. Do you have the stack trace?

If that works; I suspect we only placed things in jre/bin or ire/lib/i386 out
of a lack of knowledge.

We try and operate out of the box; especially since (even if the user had GDAL
installed) we would have some trouble to match version numbers with them. In a
perfect world our shell script could check if the use has GDAL environmental
variables set (and if so use them) and if not use the copy that ships with uDig?

I don't understand the question? There is a file present already right?
http://udig.refractions.net/files/downloads/jre/
Oh I see you want one that does not have GDAL I don't think that exists. When
bundling things up we download the latest java
(http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/ADMIN/JRE+for+Linux).
Aside: Indeed we could update to Java 7 across the board after this release as
it is now available on mac (and this would allow mac users to function all the
time; since mac does not ship with Java these days).
