Hi, First of all, thanks for great explanation, especially from Ede and Jukka.
As this is time for decision, I will give my vote : - a core distribution of OJ excluding ermapper dll (which means also NB without these dll) - a rich distribution (-s) bundled with plugins including ecw dll My reasons - license : you all convinced me there are "probably" no license issue however, we cannot get these dll from erdas can we ? Until we get dll+license or a clear agreement from erdas, I'm not 100% confident. - opensource : I feel that OJ has to play a (humble) role in opensource promotion. I would say open standard like wkt, gml or jp2 must be native datasources for openJUMP whilst close format like ecw must just be made possible (if possible). I cannot imagine that the wide adoption of ecw is not related to the slow adoption of jp2. - modularity : I also think that keeping a small core version of OpenJUMP with few dependencies is a good exercice for the software scalability. The only reason we have to include all capabilities in the main distribution is that we don't have a good plugin manager. That said, we are not too many contributors to keep OJ alive, so that I'll be happy to adopt what the majority decide.
