We are at a point now that we could make these modifications after it comes out of Eclipse and end up with a single double clickable icon with no external dependencies other than Java 5 - as William points out. Putting it in a dmg is easy. Hopefully we can figure a way to take this manual cleanup out of the loop and embed everything in Eclipse. Guess I'll have to read the rest of that book I bought.

Well, here in Florida it is time to head home and have a beer...

How does the Eclipse packaging export work? Do you just zip up whatever it spits out? Do you have control of those java options that are in the Info.plist? Is there a way to add/change other bundle settings in the export operation? Do you have control of the organization of the bundle? (ie dropping everything inside the bundle rather than having it alongside the bundle)

Some of this may need to be done after export. If you can change whatever can be changed before export and drop me a zip, I can rearrange and tweak as needed and package up a dmg for you.

Even if you use the distribution as it is, with a couple simple additions to the Info.plist, it should be as simple as: install Java 5 from Apple, run udig. No extra files or patches needed.

Mark,
We really need a write-up on the Wiki: "How to get uDig running on OS/X" starting from square one, with some attached needed files, etc. From there we can start improving our release packaging. Initially it will be "please read the instruction page" but by the time 10.4.3 comes out (with the fix for slow Java/Eclipse) I want to be able to roll a dmg. We don't have in-office OS/X right now, so everything is at a remove, your and William's help would be invaluable.

Jesse,
Scott Bortman and I are comparing our uDigs side by side, he is on Windows, I'm on a Mac.
We went to our wms server
http://www.flids.com/cgi-bin/ngos.cgi
On windows it loads groups, on the mac the group layers are not visible.
I chose
World Image
State Boundaries
Political Boundaries and Cities
Can't get anything to render. Scottie is able to handle the groups and his layers render.
