Hi Tawan,

> I put the plug-in in the 'plugins' folder of my udig RC3 and RC2 installation.  The KML import wizard throws an error.  Only the dwg and dxf    imports seem  to be working.

could you supply me the kml you are using to try that out?

It is supposed to work with the rc3 so it probably won't with th m8 also.

I will have a look,
Ciao
Andrea

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 :-)).
