yes Frank you are right
disabling the jre included with uDig causes rendering errors
 for both SHP file and TIF

Brian,

please note, that uDig is shipped and installed with its own JRE. To
verify which JRE is used open the "About uDig" Dialog in the launched
Application (Menu -> Help -> About uDig". In the opened Dialog you
will find a "installation Details" Buttown left below, hit it and
switch afterwards to the "Configuration" tab.

For the uDig installation (1.2.2) you will see something like this:

java.home=/usr/lib/udig/jre
java.runtime.version=1.6.0_25-b06

To test against the installed JRE please go through:

* goto /usr/lib/udig with terminal/shell (cd /usr/lib/udig)
* type "sudo mv jre jreXXX" and type the password afterwards (user)
* start uDig again

and in the same About Dialog mentioned above you will see
java.home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk   (or something like this, but
not the bundled JRE from /usr/lib/udig)

Start testing the Walkthrough to verify everything is fine:

Hi All-

you know that GeoTools and the Java apps are very important to this disk.. I personally want to get this resolved the best way it can. I also am not a
Java dev,
so I am missing a lot of the details under the surface...  however

I just micro tested uDig on the Live build Alpha 2.. all I tried was two
things..
Open a shape file, and open a TIF file.. and it worked fine !

 openJDK-6

so there may be more going on, but it appears to me that we may be able to
get
away with openJDK-6. Maybe 7 too..

 best regards from Berkeley, California
