Re: [udig-devel] walkthrough bugs

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

I built and SDK (but if you have a check out stick with that you can
move faster). One thing to do to match what udig application does is
to import the net.refractions.udig plugin into yourworkspace and run
the udig.product in there.

Either that or disable all the tutoiral plugins in the run menu in
order to match what we ship.
