Hi Stefan Steiniger has made OpenJUMP to read OpenStreetMap XML data directly without interim conversions. The new reader is re-using code from JOSM. Read more about the features and limitations from OpenJUMP wiki http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jump-pilot/index.php?title=Working_with_OpenStreetMap_data
I feel that the next step in the development could be to make OpenJUMP to query and read data directly from Overpass API or XAPI. OpenJUMP does already have a http client so I guess it would not be an enormous programming task to make such a query builder. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
