[osgeo4w-dev] Progress Update

[andrea antonello]

Same for me here, I am wondering why it is not in the "Installed
Directory Layout" list.

Updates on java world and udig:
- the jre can be split into bin and lib, which is good I think (though
I'm not sure if that would work for other applications, it has to be
tested)
- udig executable doesn't like the JVM from the path and will try to
pick up the system one, which is bad. This can be bypassed if launched
through a .bat file with the proper commands in it. Is that ok? I'm
not sure how that would behave related to the links that are done in
the start/program menu of windows.

I couldn't find a doc about how to supply icons for the menu. The
setup.hint files do not seem to deal with that.

Ciao
Andrea
