There are a couple of things I wanted to quickly add. - I made a great effort to keep the GUI and non-gui parts of SPSP separate. There is no reason why you couldn't easily tweak the code for a non-graphical program. This would probably take about 30 minutes. - The docking windows framework I used was from InfoNode:
http://www.infonode.net/index.html?idw Here are a couple examples of the tools SPSP would be ideally suited for: - Use GeoTools to split huge ESRI shapefiles into smaller, more manageable Shapefiles based on the number of features, attribute values, or geographical division scheme. - Reproject multiple image files stored in a single directory. - Process data files from a survey-grade echo sounder.
