Re: [udig-devel] Let's start the game!
We are (eventually) going to set up two eclipse environments.

1) The SDK Quickstart with udig-1.3-SNAPSHOT-sdk.zip

This is what we will be using tomorrow. The sdk above is downloaded for use as a "target" platform. If I have to fix it at all you can download a new one into the same location and "reload" (you will not need to go through the setup instructions again).

2) A full uDig development environment (fork on github etc… http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/ADMIN/02+Development+Environment)

Hi Jody,

I am going through the Eclipse Development setup page. Should I be using your SDK that you just sent for this, or the plugins/SDKs in the tutorial for installing Eclipse Modeling Tools? or all of them?

Thank you,
Carol

Tuesday works great. I've been going through some of the PDF tutorials you sent via the Dropbox and some of the uDig development environment tutorials on the site.
Those tutorials are what we are going to be going to; so if you want to start before hand you will arrive ready to go with questions.

Q: Were you able to try the uDig SDK I made last week?
 
Anything in particular you want us to be setup for or up to speed on for Tuesday?
It will help if we can go through the SDK Quickstart with the SDK from last week:

(Aside I have no idea if that works yet - we will be testing) 
Also, what/where are the "bonus" questions you mentioned?
In each workbook there is a section called "What to do next" or "Things to Try" or whatever.

This is where most of the actual "learning" is :-). As an example in the SDK Quickstart the "What to do next" section covers common debugging tricks: how to turn on console log, how to turn on tracking so the log has something useful, and how to mess with what plugins are bring run. All of these are useful skills for later and help sort out any problems we have when running.

For some of the later workbooks this section can take a while to figure out; sometimes it involves reading in the eclipse help, or looking things up in javadocs. In a normal training course we have different groups look into the different problems and compare notes. With only two of you it will be a fair bit of work to cover these sections (but you do have your mentors to talk to!)
