[udig-devel] Bleck; sorry that was more of a rant

[Jody Garnett]

I am afraid that last email was more of a rant; I am more upset that I 
failed to communicate one of the more interesting parts of the uDig design.

The ShapeMover code was brave and one of the only examples to even use 
the IResolveAdapterFactory facilities. I will endevour to improve the 
documentation and code base so it is easier to use the future.
