<h2>Initial Contribution</h2>

<!--
Projects are expected to arrive at Eclipse with existing code.
Describe the existing code that will be contributed to the project. Please provide
a couple of paragraphs describing the code with modest detail, including important
information like code ownership (who holds the copyright?), and some consideration
of community that exists around the code. Include a listing of third-party libraries
and associated licenses.

Initial contribution made by the uDig Project Steering Committee. Code ownership is held
by Refractions Research under the direction of the uDig Project Steering Committee. Additional
"jgrass" plugins made available by HydroloGIS. This is an established development community with world wide representation, drawn from
a number of organisations.
