Hi,
Since yesterday GDAL can read and write the JUMP JML format
http://gdal.org/drv_jml.html
What does it mean?
* Data from any vector format that is supported by GDAL
http://www.gdal.org/ogr_formats.html can be converted from and into JUMP JML
format without a need to use shapefiles as interim format. That removes some
problems which come from the limitations of the shapefile format:
o Column names can be longer than 10 characters
o Values in string fields can be longer than 255 characters
o Long datatime data type is supported
o If source data contains mixed geometry types there is no need to split data
into separate shapefiles by the geometry type
I believe that GDAL JML driver will make is easier to use OpenJUMP in workflows
where data comes from various sources and several programs are used in the
processing chain.
For testing the driver a GDAL from current trunk (revision r27882 or higher) is
needed. Windows users can get ready made binaries from
http://gisinternals.com/sdk/ by selecting some of the "development" versions.
The GDAL tool to use is ogr2ogr http://gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html. As an example,
for converting data from MapInfo tab into JML format the command to use is
ogr2ogr -f JML output.jml input.tab
Feedback is welcome. I already noticed that at least on Windows with Finnish
locale OpenJUMP claims to store XML in UTF-8 which is not true.
Driver is written by Even Rouault and donated to OpenJUMP community by me.
