That is part of it ... it really comes down to "ease of use"; uDig expects things to work out of the box, and perform at interactive speeds. If they do not providing error messages in a form a normal person can understand is a distance second priority. An error message about connection pools is not going to help for example, and error message that explains what went wrong and some steps you could consider when fixing it would.
In terms of specifics ...you know how GeoServer extends plugins a degree of trust (that the quality is good enough that you can handle the support emails?). uDig has the same tradeoff but our user community is different. In terms of measurable: oracle makes the cut for GeoServer but not for uDig. Cheers, Jody ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
