Re: [udig-devel] udig 1.2-M2 vpf and friends

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

Note this release contain's Emily's rendering bug fix; and the fix for 
linux paths. The reason I asked mark to test was to verify the linux 
path issue.

I have passed park a release generated from eclipse straight to archive 
(and I have not included a JRE). We will hear back if that has the 
executable bits set correctly or not...
