[udig-devel] Question on GML in uDig

[Jesse Eichar]

I suppose I should point out that the current implementation has only  
been tested with simple documents.  More complex documents especially  
ones with references may cause problems with the current version.  In  
addition GML is not a very efficient format so I'd suggest importing  
GML documents then saving them as Shapefile and using the shapefile  
for viewing.

Finally, the GML is currently read-only.
