Re: [udig-devel] uDig project files - mystery solved!

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is something we have done a couple of times now:
- once for "Populations at Risk" we created a custom "Catalog View" 
where ready made Maps were listed.

Here are a couple of ideas on how to get the same result:
- Slick: Create "Example" wizards that create the map by hand and then 
add it to the current project. If the examples include shapefiles the 
files can be copied into the users project directory as part of the 
example wizard "Finish" action
- Cheap: OWS Context documents can be opened; simple export map as an 
OWS Context document and place the files as links on a web page; drop 
that web page into the internal browser and you have a nice homebrew 
equivalent. This one is limited to web resources right now :-(

Cheers,
Jody
