I know that GeoTools has a great CRS module. I'd like to know if there
has been any effort to package the functionality of this module in a
user friendly executable program. I was thinking of a some code that
would show a simple Swing GUI that would allow the user to input the
following data and then perform a CRS transformation:

[1] Source data file.
[2] Destination data file.
[3] Source CRS EPSG code or WKT CRS definition.
[4] Destination CRS EPSG code or WKT CRS definition.

Has anyone coded a simple tool like this, using the GeoTools CRS
module? I know UDig has some reprojection support, but I've been
having trouble with it. I think it would be great to have a simple
tool to do reprojection of GIS data using GeoTools, and I think this
tool could see some heavy use.

If we don't have an existing tool, I'd like to think about coding one
for my own use. Would this have a home in Geotools? Could we include
it with the CRS module? Would you guys have suggestions on the
implementation of this tool?

If I tried to code this tool, I'd get it working with just Shapefiles
at first. Then I might be able to add other common GIS formats
supported in GeoTools.

Thanks,

Landon
