[udig-dev] Fwd: Eclipse CQ for H2 database from Orbit Repository as bund

[Frank Gasdorf <fgdrf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,

Currently I walk through the "udig initial findings" spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtOHw31i-Ij_dDVfOHVWQV9lXzVjaFNwR2xpcWF6cHc#gid=2)

uDig has a 3rd-Party dependeny to h2 (see currently line 121) version 1.1.119 and its because of geotools transitive dependency to this jar:

[INFO] +- org.geotools.jdbc:gt-jdbc-h2:jar:9.0-M0:compile

[INFO] |  +- org.opengeo:geodb:jar:0.7-RC2:compile

[INFO] |  |  \- net.sourceforge.hatbox:hatbox:jar:1.0.b7:compile

[INFO] |  \- com.h2database:h2:jar:1.1.119:compile

At Eclipse Orbit Repository I found a potential replacement for this jar as a bundled version. But the version differs : here you can find version 1.1.117 (see org.h2)

Idea:

* exclude 3rd-party dependency for h2 from pom-libs.xml

* clear n.r.u.libs bundles manifest from export packages to import (optional) org.h2.*

* (maybe) patch the generic datastore extensions how to deal with missing runtime componentes (wizards) if imports would be optional. As a first step we can make it a required dependency ;)

Questions:

* How can I efficient test h2 datastore in uDIG?

* I found some threads about BeeGIS & JGrass working with H2, Which tools using it and could you provide a simple workflow how to test these?

Thanks a lot,

Frank
