Hello !

I have finally managed to get a nearly working SDK (layer updates do 
function) from the repository installation

yes, I would be happy to bring my comments about the installation on 
linux (I have found an easy procedure to handle the javahl problem), I 
wil go update the wiki while it is still fresh in my mind.


Nevertheless, the information tool is still not working giving me this 
exact message in the eclipse console :

Unhandled event loop exception
Reason:
No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)]

This is quite annoying since it leaves uDig without a fundamental 
function of a GIS. Concerning your hint, I am indeed on ubuntu but 
Eclipse is not available as a package. If you have another idea I will 
happily try it.

Another remark : the repository checkout using uDig.psf does not work 
(it seems that the problem comes from uDig.psf itself)


One last thing since you might wonder why does someone start working on 
uDig. In my case, I have proposed my own academic projet for my final 
year in my telecomunication carreer and I have chosen to develop it on uDig.

after the usual installation hardships, the fun part can begin!
