(I forgot to comment when this thread got started) I definitely agree with the tweeter. The Geotools API is pretty hard to use. Take a UTM to Lat/Lon transformation for example. BBN OpenMap has an easy API: new UTMPoint(4722663,688584,42,'T').toLatLonPoint() http://openmap.bbn.com/doc/api/com/bbn/openmap/proj/coords/UTMPoint.html It just can't get any easier than that, folks. And no EPSG database or such things are being loaded behind the scenes, either. It's just a UTM to Lat-Lon conversion after all; pretty standard. In GeoTools I was reading a JP2K file in which I got a GridCoverage2D, in which I needed an Envelope, and then a ReferencedEnvelope at which point FINALLY I could call getMinX, getMinY. Ugh! It took a long time to figure that out. Multiple Java packages both using "Envelope" terminology but wasn't the same.... and there seemed to be multiple ways to get what I wanted which made things confusing because I want a one right/best way.
