Hi,
At first, thanks for the great work you're doing.
I've tested uDig 0.4 and read the roadmap, and I'm impatient to use
the first stable release.
I'm planning to develop specific applications based upon uDig in a way
to be integrated in a Spatial Data Infrastructure.
Our developments are around spatial imagery, and for this reason, we've
tested different solutions including uDig and Seagis
(http://seagis.sf.net), based upon Martin's J2D renderer. I was very
impressed by this tool, and after testing uDig, my impression is that
J2D fits better for our needs (for performance reasons in raster
management, and fonctionnality like realtime resizing ScaleBar etc...).
I follow the differents geotools lists since few month, and I can
remember discussions about renderer stuff, but I don't know if you plan
to integrate J2D in a near future, or if your API will permit an
external effort to integrate J2D instead of Lite-renderer.
I've contacted Martin to know what are his plans about J2D
Development, he told me that J2D needs a refactoring to be geoAPI
compliant and some memory management modification.
He told me he first got a lot of work to do with GC. So, we plan to
help Martin's development process by allocating developer time on GC
stuff so that he will be able to work sooner on J2D.
