Re: [udig-devel] Status of GML and KML Support

Thanks.  Glad to know that I did not do anything wrong.  It's just not supported for now.  

Too bad GML and KML are not on the top of the list for our project, otherwise I would volunteer to do it.  If I have the luxury of teaching my students Java (teaching them Python at the moment), I will attempt to assign that as their project.  Not sure whether they can figure out though.  :-(

Cheers,
Tawan

From the messages I have read, it seems that you guys are the authority on the issue of GML and KML support in uDig (and the rest of the issues most likely :-)).
