Re: [udig-devel] Creating new dataset from selected features.

[Dave Sampson <gis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jody,

thanks for the repsonse....

Devel env for UDIG. Nope, is there a tutorial on setting one up I assume 
its java and eclipse. no experience with java or eclipse other than 
having tried setting up the environment and java SDE once and messed 
things up large. Scared ever since.

how would I be able to preview the tutorial to see if I would even want 
to try?

If there is ever a need for acid testers of exporting shapes I can help 
as I'm constantly splitting, merging, cutting, clipping and filtering 
shapes files (but stuck in the ESRI world for that). If I get a good 
result then I know right away, if I don't I can try to forward what went 
wrong. Who do I talk to in order to help out?

I'll dump some thoughts in the bug tracker (wishlist).

Cheers
