Hi Kenneth,
I am abroad so I can't get much into details. I have just one concern.
Are you sure refactoring to eu.udig is safe?

No, hence the warnings :-) 

 

There are so many places wheer ids are used as string and package
names and who only knows what more :)

That is tricy, but the refactoring capabilities of Eclipse would allow us to rename all java dependencies in all plug-in projects without too much problems. Using a regexp matching string, the rest could be replaced also.  

 

It looks a such large scale move to me that I then would also add
migration to eclipse 4 :)

All in good time :-) 

 

Good work anyways,
Andrea

 

Thanks.
