Re: [udig-devel] Pasting WKT into UDig

Hi Emily - I will put GEOT-2766 on the road map for today's geotools
release candidate.

Do you want to find out where Jesse had WKT cut and paste? There is
still a preference page for it - and update it with your code (or kill
it as incomplete and add your code to core).
