Re: [udig-devel] stupid questions
|
All you would need to do, I believe, is download the Linux/GTK version,
then replace all the Eclipse RCP stuff with the version for your
environment.
It was all mentioned in an earlier post:

Hi Matt,
There is no reason the uDIG plugins could not be installed on a MacOS
version of Eclipse's Rich Client Platform (RCP). We havce two linux
developers and two windows developer, so have not tested udig on Mac
OS
X, so did not include a download. You should be able to copy the
net.refractions.udig.* plugins from the linux download into a copy of
the Mac OS X Eclipse RPC client (or alternatively replace the linux
eclipse plugins + startup.jar with the Mac versions).
I would recommend the second strategy. Download one of the udig
releases and replace all the org.eclipse.* plugins with the instances
from your Mac OS X eclipse framework. (Or try strategy 3, wait until
tomorrow and I will post a (untested) Mac release). :)

Hi Kenneth,
As of release 0.1 we have only created a Windows and Linux/GTK
version, as that is we have available to test on at the moment, and we
did not wish to release an untested version. Cross-platform support is
one of our goals, and we are working on it. The only possible issue
that I can see at the moment is our use of Java Advanced Imaging, but
I'm not even sure if that is even a problem. Hopefully our next
release will have support for Mac OS and more window managers.

Hi - I just heard about uDig on the Jump mailing list and decided to
check it out.
The first obvious problem with uDig is it only runs under two
particluar window managers, namely, Windows and Linux/GTK.
And it appears to be running in an Eclipse framework - and a
basterized one at that.
I don't understand the need to tie a solution to two particular
window managers when the solution should be 100% pure Java.
The SWT dependencies on the window manager are already built into
Eclipse
- and it runs on every known platform.
At least Eclipse is 99.99% Java (and trivial to port to unknown
platforms.)
I'm a little confused - primarily because I'm not using either of the
supported Window managers (and not willing waste time doing my home
work
yet.)
I'd to get involved but I absolutely no tolerance for platform
dependent
solutions (even if it's my perferred platform.)
If turns out that I all I need to do is hack the Linux/GTK download
and add the SWT libraries for my platform, then why aren't you
shipping this release as an Eclipse plugin?
Seems kinda silly to be able to run Eclipse but not be able to run
uDig.
