[udig-devel] Projection WGS 84 as default

Hi all,

This is true only if you have selected the -1 value for the standard 
EPSG code in the map preferences, default for uDig is the code of the 
lat-long WGS84 so the all maps with or without prj file will be 
reprojected in this CRS.

Change the map preference projection to -1 and then reimport the shape, 
it will be redrawn in the correct CRS and all the others shapes you will 
import will be reprojected in the CRS of the first map.
