Re: [udig-devel] uDig project files
|
Hi Jesse,
The files certainly are buried. I've scanned my whole system looking
for these files and can't find them.
Is 'plugin_customizations.ini' a text file that I should find in
"Documents and Settings" or in the uDig install directory on Windows?
I don't want to turn off opening maps on startup.
I want to be able to provide a file that contains the datasource
connection information, layers and styles to be applied with a standard
uDig installation.
In an earlier version of uDig, I found an XML file with an extension of
.umap which seemed to include the layer information.
Or do I need to code my own custom application with uDig in the Eclipse
development environment?
Regards,
David

Hi David,
The files are nicely buried. The class StartupOpenMaps controls this
behaviour. If you want to disable this behaviour, it is controlled by
a Project.UI preference. There are a few ways to modify the
preferences by using by:
ProjectUIPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore().setValue(PreferenceConstants.P_OPEN_MAPS_ON_STARTUP,
false).
A second way to modify the preference if you are creating a custom
application, is to specify a properties file with the preferences you
want to specify. If you look at the net.refractions.udig plugin there
is a file in the root called plugin_customizations.ini. This file
specifies some of the preferences we want to use in the uDig
application. You could copy that and add:
net.refractions.udig.project.ui/openMapsOnStartup = false
to the file.
There are probably more ways by changing environment variables and so
on. But you'll have to check the eclipse help for that.

I'm trying to port a 2002-vintage ArcExplorer .axl application to
uDig and need some file to control uDig startup.
The uDig File menu has an "Open Project" selection - what is it
looking for?
