[OSM-dev] use API v6 with Eclipse
Hello I'm a student in a school engineering in France, and i have to develop a JAVA application connected to OpenstreetMap in order to get and edit information from the data base. I know that is possible with the API v 6 , but i don't know how to do it with Eclipse. I'm really at the beginning of my way, and i don't know what to do. I need your help and if you have any advice or example to show me it will be great. Waiting for your answers. Thanks Kamélia ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

There are two major Java applications that come to my mind that deal with OSM data through the API: JOSM (http://josm.openstreetmap.de, source at http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk) and Osmosis (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis, source at http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/osmosis/trunk/) But, how to do Java development with Eclipse is a quite orthogonal issue and has nothing to do with what the application you are developing is doing.

Eclipse is a (very) general development tool. It makes it more convenient to edit, build and test a Java application. Any Java application. What the application does is totally up to you. So, start by reading and following a beginners Eclipse tutorial; build and run a Hello world app, then modify it. 2. How to write a Java program that talks to the OSM server (API). Since the API uses HTTP, you'll need a HTTP client object. So read about the java.net package, especially the HTTPUrlConnection class. Build and play with an example application that fetches data via an HTTP connection. Read about XML parsing (javax.xml.parsers package) Look at JOSM source code. http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk You should at some point decide if you are going to use Java for normal computers (Standard Edition) or Java for smartphones, etc. (Mobile Edition, J2ME) Good luck! /Stellan ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
