Re: [udig-devel] uDig as IDE extension

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are simply plugins, for use with RCP or with Eclipse. You could make 
use of us in an Eclipse IDE (say in visualizing features found in a 
debugger run!), but I am not sure I can think of a real need.

One thing we do not have is a Map "ViewPart", we do have a MapEditor and 
the model used there can serve as the basis for your own view if you 
want. But right now we have focused on hooking into the Editor 
lifecycle.  We are very interested in making a more general purpose 
component as several of the applications based on uDig simply want 
display and do not really want to save/load that display.
