Mass State Plane and UTM projections are not working properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  View vector data and actuate the Data Export Wizard.
2. Select either of the Mass State Plane or UTM projection options. 
3. Once downloaded, check to ensure the projection is correct in a GIS.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See attached Word doc

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XP/Firefox 3.x and 4.0

Please provide any additional information below.

• Added labels: Priority-High, Projection
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium, Identify, zoom, Print, Permalink, InternetExplorer

1. To fix the UTM projection problem:
a. In the Export Data Wizard code, replace EPSG:26718 with EPSG:26918
b. In the Export Data Wizard code, replace EPSG:26719 with EPSG:26919

2. Delete Mass State Plane FEET export option.

3. Change the labels in the export wizard to the following:
a. NAD83/Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone, meters - 
EPSG:26986
b. NAD83/UTM zone 18N, meters (Western Massachusetts) - EPSG:26918
c. NAD83/UTM zone 19N, meters (Eastern Massachusetts) - EPSG:26919
d. WGS84 (Latitude-Longitude) - EPSG:4326

Thanks for the cookbook instructions, Emily!

I think these changes are complete but I would like CZM to verify.
NOTE: the fix that makes the .prj work in ArcMap won't be available until I 
upgrade GeoServer to a new version.

MSPm opens in Arc in the correct location but has no defined projection 
parameters.
Coordinate System:  <Undefined>
>>> I don't understand why this is happening but it will need to be fixed.

UTM18N opens in Arc in the correct location with the following projection 
parameters:
Projected Coordinate System:    NAD83 / UTM zone 18N
Projection: Transverse_Mercator
false_easting:  500000.00000000
false_northing: 0.00000000
central_meridian:   -75.00000000
scale_factor:   0.99960000
latitude_of_origin: 0.00000000
Linear Unit:    m

UTM19N opens in Arc in the correct location with the following projection 
parameters:
Projected Coordinate System:    NAD83 / UTM zone 19N
Projection: Transverse_Mercator
false_easting:  500000.00000000
false_northing: 0.00000000
central_meridian:   -69.00000000
scale_factor:   0.99960000
latitude_of_origin: 0.00000000
Linear Unit:    m

WGS84 opens in Arc in the correct location with the following projection 
parameters:
Geographic Coordinate System:   WGS 84
Datum:  World Geodetic System 1984
Prime Meridian:     Greenwich
Angular Unit:   degree

Dan, this was fixed in GeoServer, but has not yet been deployed.  I need to 
upgrade GeoServer for this to get into place.  I assume you mean that message 
that you get when you try to open the shapefile in ArcMap.

Right Aleda.  The raster do open in Arc, just there's no projection info that 
comes along with it.  Although the data pop into place OK, I'm not clear if the 
data I download as Projection X is indeed in Projection X.

Mea culpa.  Arc does projection on the fly; I don't understand though how data 
with no projection info can fall onto other data in the right place.  The 
answer is probably pretty simple although I've never investigated it.

This works for me. I downloaded a shapefile and GeoTiff in all four output 
coordinate systems and they all opened in the correct location in ArcGIS. 
Tested with Chrome 14 on Windows 7.
