Re: [udig-devel] uDig in OSGeoLive 6.0 without JAI

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have 2 options:

1. find a way for uDig to load JAI through a custom directory (even

though an export LD_LIBRARY_PATH for a custom path did not work in Ubuntu)

Do you have a link to what you tried in this respect?

We have an outstanding change request to package the binaries up inside uDig; this would prevent them being shared with other applications

on the disk; and would result in uDig shipping a second copy of GDAL. While this is smaller then uDig having its own JRE; it would be preferable from a size point of view if you could get the script to work.

2. use a pure java implementation of uDig without JAI

I am not keen to make a special copy of uDig just for the live dvd. 

The open ticket is here: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/922

Thoughts?

You only mentioned JAI here; are you also looking at ImageIO and ImageIO-Ext?  Other projects such as Geomajas are more likely to conflict on the copy of ImageIO-Ext and GDAL used.
