Hi All, There has been a long standing issue on Geotools regarding osgification - http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-2105, may be this can be done in parallel with migrating the build system to maven 3. I am testing the OSGi tooling developed for Eclipse - http://njbartlett.name/2011/03/23/towards-maven-support-in-bndtools.html , it makes it easy to generate the XML snippets that plug into the requisite pom.xml for the modules.
Some of the hand-hacking of the pom.xml's has been done by Harald and the outputs are available at the following location - http://hg.berlios.de/repos/geotools-osgi . I would like to take on GEOT-2105 and add the couple of lines of manifest that makes this work, also iron out the SPI based mechanisms that prevent true osgification using an interceptor - http://jbossosgi.blogspot.com/2010/01/suns-serviceloader-and-how-it-relates.html . The Service loader interceptor will convert the Sun/Oracle META-INF/services into OSGi ServiceFactories. Lastly let me take this opportunity to introduce our project (on which we have had some discussions with Jody - same timezone and such). This is a CSIRO infrastructure project aimed to develop a 3D desktop visualisation tool for large NetCDF datasets. We have a lot of in-house expertise in NetCDF mangling and parsing, as well as producing Gigabytes of it from Ocean-Atmospheric model runs. The aim is to leverage geotools to access geographic databases, web services and file based datastores, and combine it with efficient NetCDF access. The underlying framework will act as a switch box negotiating data providers to data renderers, I have a long history with NASA WorldWind and this is currently our primary renderer. The desktop tool would be built around an RCP and we may look at Udig for inspiration. I have circulated the following videos in other circles previously, but they give an idea of what we are aiming to do, if possible in a nice modular fashion, such that Lidar data and Hydrology simulations via say liblas/jgrass can seamlessly reuse the same infrastructure. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15821898/vlc-output_curvy_3d.mp4 - Curvilinear grids http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15821898/vlc-output_winds.mp4 - Atmospheric model http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15821898/vlc-output.mp4 - Ocean model This leads onto the ideas about CoverageStores in nDimensions such that non-webmap renderers can use them nicely. That is for another email and another JIRA issue.
