Re: [udig-devel] GeoTiff support in 1.0.1?

[jeichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Currently the raster support is udig is really weak.  I am told that geotools
trunk has better support so when we move to that in september the raster support
should improve.  We are also talking with OSSIM to integrate OSSIM into udig. 
When that is in we should have VERY good support for raster formats.  In either
case it will not be ready for udig 1.0.1.  Since 1.0.1 is pretty much out the
door.  

However, as soon as it is ready I will put it on the update site so users of
udig 1.0.1 will be able to download and install it from there.
