Hello, just thought I should let the GT people know, deegree has a more-or-less new projection library which also supports proj4 string format.
I'm not suggesting cooperation, I'm throwing this in as a fact. (I often ask why the Java world needs 4 logging frameworks (java.logging, log4j, slf4j and apache's-i-can-log-'em-all - forgot anyone?) Soon we'll have more project libraries in Java then logging frameworks. :-) Cheers, Ugo Andrea Aime wrote: > Jody Garnett ha scritto: >> Same martin as from JTS >> - http://lin-ear-th-inking.blogspot.com/2010/01/announcing-proj4j.html > > Interesting indeed.
