A report by Prof. Keitt to the mailing list suggests that uDig can obliterate EclipseIDE settings. The report, below, is not complete enough to fully understand what's going on. Can we verify how uDig determines that it has the right to use a particular workspace? Perhaps uDig is launching and using the ~/workspace directory for its settings when that directory was created by an EclipseIDE application. I have never liked the silent creation of a workspace by uDig and would encourage uDig, at the very least on gnu* systems, to interact with the user on launch, much like eclipse does, and ask the user which directory to use. ******************************************************************** On Sat, 2007-04-07 at 15:34 -0500, Tim Keitt wrote: >From time to time I download uDig and give it whirl. Looks very promising. I tried RC9 today and two things I noticed: {...} 2) Running uDig will completely hose your existing eclipse environment. I use eclipse for other programming projects and after running uDig, I loose all my setting. Perspectives created by installed plugins disappear (lots of 'cannot restore perspective' errors). This has happened to me (today) when trying the all-in-one download and previously when I've tried to run it without downloading all the bundled Eclipse/JVM bits. Needless to say, this is exceedingly annoying. Any tips on getting uDig to coexist with eclipse for other uses?
