Hi uDiggers, hi GeoTools community,

I am proud to announce that GeoWidgets is finally available on the SourceForge 
SVN of the GeoWidgets project, at
  https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geowidgets
and more specifically at
  https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geowidgets/geowidgets/trunk
and
  https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geowidgets/mabautils/trunk

Status:
- Only the Swing widgets and the framework is on the SVN, the SWT/JFace 
implementation classes need another check and some refactoring before I want to 
see them "out in the wild"
- Ant scripts are available for downloading dependencies during the "clean"
- The MaBaUtils project contains a simple jar build, for GeoWidgets itself this 
is yet missing (no build system so far, will be added later).
- Tests, JUnit tests and demos are there, but likely not perfect.
- The new style widget is only partly functional and definitely not yet stable
- The manual is not yet updated to reflect the newest changes
- However the source code is well documented and almost fully localized.

Things to note:
- JDK1.6.0 is required, although the projects should run under JDK1.5.0 with 
only minor modifications
- The projects currently use GeoTools 2.3.0.
- For the CRS tests to pass an EPSG database is required. I use the Geotools 
ODBC jar, but it should be possible to make the tests run with any other of the 
GeoTools implementations (such as gt2-epsg-hsql-2.3.0.jar)
- The projects are Eclipse plugin projects, since they must be integratable in 
the Eclipse RCP architecture for the SWT/JFace parts.
- In the current state there is not yet any dependency on SWT or JFace.

How to checkout and compile
---------------------------
Checkout requires no password etc. You will need all three projects from trunk:
- org.MaBaUtils       (my utility and general widget library)
- org.geowidgets.libs (a project containing the downloaded dependencies)
- org.geowidgets      (containing the framework and Swing GeoWidgets)
After checkout You will have to call "clean" once or twice to download the 
dependencies and then everything should compile. (Well, it did on a fresh test 
checkout which I performed today.) You might run some of the test and demos to 
find out what widgets exist. Please note that some tests are not headless (They 
show the widgets, which must be closed manually.)

So far, so good.
I wish you Merry Christmas ...
... or Happy Holidays (for the political correctness fanatics)
;-)
