Re: [udig-devel] GeoWidgets update

Hi developers,
Major changes are ongoing in GeoWidgets and I feel I should inform. So lets
start:
1. Widgets update
To Jody: You told me some time ago that you had something to contribute to
GeoWidgets. If it is related to the styling dialog (ColorBrewer?), now is a
good time. Pleas contact me with the details so I can make a judgement of the
steps involved for integrating it and can help you. Note the points below.
Can you just download uDig 1.1.M5 and have a look? Corey is your contact
on styling stuff, since you last played
we have added events to the geotools styling system, and the color
brewer stuff is located there as well. If we can
arange it after the uDig 1.1 release it would be nice to move the user
interface code over to geo-widgets (but some
of that depends on meeting user interface guidelines etc...).
3. SVN
Due to the major redesign (see above) the current GeoWidgets SVN
(http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/trunk/spike/geowidgets/)
should be seen as outdated. If anyone has modified code please commit now and
tell me(!) so we can find a solution for integrating it into the modified
codebase.
As you probably have noticed, SourceForge is now supporting SVN. Therefore my
plan is to put the whole ScienceGIS stuff there as soon as I have brought it
into a more or less releasable state and have become with their SVN support.
My intend is to do the redesign and the switch to Sourceforge in one step.
(Don't ask me about a date yet. But it will likely not be before uDig1.1.).
Cool, remember to rm the geotools spike when you are done, I always love
seeing a project take off.
4. Testbed
My Eclipse RCP knowledge has advanced quite a bit during the last month, which
enabled me to build an own CRCP Eclipse application, which now serves as a
testbed for most of the SWT-based GeoWidgets. However If uDIg adopted some of
the wizards ("in mid term"?) it would definitely not hurt to get feedback from
this side, since it would give me an idea how easy/difficult it is to deploy
them.
Oh, speaking of deploying: I don't have that much experience with the deployed
plugins, so I wonder if .jar files created from plugin projects can be used in
the same way as "normal" .jar libraries by external (non Eclipse-based)
programs. Or would I have to create two versions of GeoWidgets: one as plugins
and one as normal libraries?
Often a plugin is created just to host a normal jar.... worst case
senario being net.refractions.udig.libs
