Hi Riyafa, I suggest that you start by familiarizing yourself with Java Topology Suite (JTS) [https://github.com/locationtech/jts] and ESRI Geometry API [ https://github.com/Esri/geometry-api-java]. JTS has been around for a longer time so I guess it's more stable. ESRI API has been launched recently but it supports both Well-Known formats and GeoJSON which can be a big advantage for us. You can start by investigating both of them so we can decide which one to use. For the record: JTS is distributed under Eclipse Distribution License and ESRI API is distributed under Apache 2.0 License.
