Hi,
- it would be nice to release a last java 5 compatible version (1.3.2 ?)
before switching to java 6.
I think that a good priority list could be :
- bug fixes
- raster support (don't know if there are blocking issues as I don't use
it much)
- (if next version of JTS is released soon, synchronize both releases -
and drop the workaround we had to do in OJ)
Other points from Sunburned :
- nice to hear fixing bugs is one of your priority for june/july. Do not
underestimate the time it requires.
- if your plugins are independant from the core, maybe it should not be
a constraint for a OJ release date. Or do you need some modifications in
the core to release your plugins ?
Other points from Stefan :
- I'm not sure CSV/txt plugin should be a priority as it is available as
a plugin. The only thing is that when installed, it is quite redundant
with the native WKT import/export. If you find time to give me some
feedback, I can find time to improve it either as a separate plugin or
to include it in the core.
- Pirol grid's creation tool : it seems that it is a long awaited
feature. It would be cool if it could be added to the next release. Also
it can be delivered as an external plugin.
- Improve OpenJUMP/Sextante compatibility to benefit Sextante great
algorithms : this is probably the most important point. I have a very
little experience. Last time I tried Sextante, I get many NPE, probably
due to small differences in the feature model.
*Can you explain a bit more what is the compatibility problem
between Sextante core classes and the one you started to include in
OpenJUMP.
*About bindings, there is still the sources on Sextante project
(lastly modified about 4 months ago). I suppose the bindings has to be
modified according to the work you did in OpenJUMP to include some of
Sextante classes ?
* About 1.5/1.6 issue : I think it would be cool to release a last
java 5 compatible version of OJ. It could be run on a java 5 jvm
(without Sextante). I'm not sure if we need to compile OpenJUMP with
java 6 to make it compatible with Sextante or can we release a java 5
compatible OJ along with a java 6 compatible Sextante for users who
already have a java 6 jvm.
my 2 cents
