I was playing around with uDIG and realized that its WMS capabilities are awesome! The Global Mosaic perfectly fits a map I created! However, I was planning to use the WMS layer as an orientation for cleaning up my polygons, yet geoprocessing (merge etc.) is not very much straightforward in uDIG (is it?).
Therefore I wanted to load the WMS into QGIS (1.7.2). After I set up the connection as
http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?
the connection works but when loading any service I get the following response:
Antwort: <?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/exception_1_1_1.dtd ">
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
<ServiceException>
This server no longer provides full WMS services!
</ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>
can anyone suggest a solution for correctly loading this WMS into QGIS?
thank you!

JPL don't provide a WMS service any more (the clue is in the error message). I believe that what you have in UDig is some sort of tile service like WMTS or TMS.
This thread suggests that you need to use GDAL to load a TMS layer into QGis.
