Re: [udig-devel] oracle status update 
Jesse,

I followed all these instructions and...... nearly got it to work!

I discovered that the Oracle jar files could not "go anywhere". I got
the login dialog to occur only when I put them in:

C:\Program Files\uDig\eclipse\jre\lib\ext

I tried combinations of classes12.jar and/or ojdbc14.jar in this and other
directories and can't get past this (to me, gobblegook):

java.lang.NullPointerException

Any suggestions?

The oracle jar can go anywhere. I have added a page that will allow you to "show" udig the jars. (Right now we are requiring the classes12.jar as well because it might be needed, we don't know as of now). The problem seems to be how you are installing the zip file I made up for you. Since you are a windows user I will give the instructions that worked for me: 

1- download and install udig1.0.1.exe
2 - download http://udig.refractions.net/downloads/oracle.zip
3. Open a file explorer
4. Delete:
c:\Program Files\uDig\eclipse\plugins\net.refractions.udig.libs_1.0.1 (this is a directory) 
5 Unzip oracle.zip
6 Copy net.refractions.udig.libs_1.0.1(directory) to c:\Program Files\uDig\eclipse\plugins\ 7 Copy net.refractions.udig.libs.oracle_1.0.0(directory) to c:\Program Files\uDig\eclipse\plugins\ 8 Copy net.refractions.udig.catalog.oracle_1.0.1.jar (file) to c:\Program Files\uDig\eclipse\plugins\ 9 Make sure all three are in the c:\Program Files\uDig\eclipse\plugins\ directory. 
10 Run uDig
11 Layer > Add...
     Oracle should be there!
13 Select oracle and follow directions.
Like I said before I will try to create the patch as soon as I can and put it on the update site.

Jesse,
I am greatly appreciative of all that you have done :-) , and I am sure it is working for you, 
but not for myself and, by the look of it, others as well :-(
Perhaps this is because your version of UDig is on a machine with all the development code, JDKs etc etc. I installed UDig onto a clean laptop and only added the JREs that the UDig site referenced. I downloaded the oracle 10g jdbc driver but I am still not sure where it is supposed to go (it doesn't display as a straight .jar file in Windows XP explorer. I downloaded and installed the stuff you built yesterday and installed it as you said. When I try and Add a new Layer now Oracle option appears for me. I can only conclude that UDig is not configured properly and I don't know why. 

Any thoughts?

As for the other's problems... I'm not sure I just tried it at home (on
a linux box) and it works perfectly. Maybe the setup is not working for you guys. I'll try it on windows and if that works then I will create a 
new feature for you to download from the update site.

I tried all this but I don't get any Oracle connection icon appearing in 
the Add Layers dialog box.
Something must still not be configured properly. I also downloaded the
Oracle jdbc jar file from TechNet
where do I put it (it seesm to be some sort of a jar/zip file)?
