[josm-dev] Publishing a plugin with external dependency
I have written a plugin displaying GeoTiff images in JOSM and am thinking about publishing it. But since it depends on JNI bindings to GDAL/OGR (http://gdal.org) I am slightly confused what the best way would be to do that. Should I bundle just the Java part with the plugin and rely on the user to get the right native jars? Only set the class path in the manifest and bundle nothing? Maybe even download the correct version if it not already present? The code resides on github for now: https://github.com/mostlyuseful/josm-geotiffovl Any advice welcome.

For my plugin (Videomapping) I decided to bundle all external jars. Even this isn't that nice from a package management view, it is the easiest way to deploy it with less troubles on versioning etc. I guess autoupdating isn't nescessary cause the release cycles of OSM are pretty short. But I'm not that experiencend in the deployment stuff. bye Matthias ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev

Hi, M S wrote: I have written a plugin displaying GeoTiff images in JOSM and am thinking about publishing it. Does the ImportImage plugin not do that already - or if it doesn't, could it maybe be extended instead of adding a new plugin? I think ImportImage already depends on a sh*tload of external projection libraries which are bundled with the plugin.

I think ImportImage already depends on a sh*tload of external projection libraries which are bundled with the plugin. ImportImage does not work at all for me. Either it throws uncatched exceptions or it displays (properly referenced) GeoTiffs at the wrong place with the wrong scale or not at all. After looking through its source I figured it would be much easier to start from scratch. With my current knowledge of the source of ImportImage I am not sure how long it would take to extend (slash fix) it. ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
