AW: [udig-devel] Supporting custom file types in uDig

["Wellmann, Harald" <HWellmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gabriel,

thanks for the link to the DataStore tutorial, I wasn't aware of that one. 

Actually, it seems I did just what the tutorial says in creating a WktDataStore, a WktDataStoreFactory and a WktFeatureReader. These classes only depend on geotools and jts, not on uDig.

But then I also had to figure out the correct extension point of uDig and to implement a WktServiceExtension, a WktServiceImpl and a WktResourceImpl which do depend on uDig and which I found harder to get right than the DataStore stuff, and I still don't really understand when and how uDig invokes my service; it seems to be a lot more often than I would have expected.

So I still think it would be worth while to create a tutorial that covers both the uDig and the Geotools part.

Regards,
Harald
