[IDV #QVD-529091]: IDV - Error in Auto-Projections of Satellite Bundles

Hi Jacob-

> Institution: HOME
> Package Version: 2.3a1 build date:2007-07-19 07:01 UTC
> Operating System: Linux
> Hardware Information: Java: home: /root/IDV_2.3a1v12/jre version: 1.5.0_11 
> j3d:1.3.1
> Inquiry: There is an error in the auto-projections of satellite bundles that
> have been created or modified in the most recent nightly builds of
> the IDV.  In previous builds of the program, I created satellite bundles and 
> configured
> the projections for each so that when I opened the bundles, the IDV would 
> center
> the map for the region which the bundle covered.  The bundles which have
> not been modified or created before I installed the most recent nightly builds
> will project and center on the map with no problem.
> However, the bundles which have been created or modified using

> I noticed yesterday that when I go to "Preferences" under Edit, the

Ah, life on the bleeding edge.  Sorry about this.  I believe I fixed the
problem on Friday so any bundles made with the current nightly build should
project correctly.  When you have the problem, do you see an error message
in the terminal window that says it couldn't find the constructor for
AREACoordinateSystem with a bunch of XML listed afterwards?

Try using the current version to make bundles.  Unfortunately, the ones that
aren't working with the bad builds will still not work with the latest build.
