Hi Frank,
I would also like to bring to your attention the MetaCRS project, an
effort to confederate some other existing coordinate system related
projects
(particularly Proj4JS, CS-MAP and PROJ.4) and to work towards some
shared
test data and coordinate system dictionaries.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Java
Fascinating discussion - and quite encouraging to someone like me who is just
moving into GIS and hoping to make good use of OS GIS tools in future.
As a newbie to all of this technology, I'd go along with the general feeling
that ESRI ArcMap is easier to get started with as an end user, and
So, who's going to condense this and related threads into a presentation at
FOSS4G2008?
It's the sort of input a lot of people are interested in.

Frans,
Perhaps I can help you understand.
As far as I know the only two official OSGeo projects for the Java
programming language are gvSIG and GeoTools. OpenJUMP isn't an official
OSGeo project, but I hope that it is one day. :] Even though it isn't
yet a project I try to stay active in

Hi,
Don't forget that some people are not developers but are ready to write
documentation (in my native langage for me ;) ).
Open Source is not only for developers, but for everyone who want to share his
works (software, documentation, ideas, etc.).

I shouldn't have painted with such a broad brush. We actually have a great
bunch of translators for OpenJUMP, and one user that does nothing but work on
documentation. (English is actually a second language for this user.)
I meant to speak in a more general sense. I agree with the earlier

Thanks, Markus.
By the way, for anybody else looking of a fairly painless intro to FOSS GIS,
I can heartily recommend Scott Davis's book GIS for web developers. It's
aimed mainly at web mapping rather than heavy duty GIS, but it will get you
started with PostGIS, GeoServer, GDAL, uDig, QGIS and
A fellow OSGeo member suggested that I move a topic from a private
e-mail discussion to this mailing list. I have been talking with a

a couple of guys from OpenJUMP about a shared Java CRS library. There

it won’t be used. I think that will need to be part of our research

Thanks for the input Justin.
I agree simplicity (and the broad adoption that results from simplicity)
is a primary goal. We shouldn't let GeoAPI stand in the way of that.
Does anyone know how much of the existing GeoTools code is actually
based on the CRS interfaces in GeoAPI? Is anyone besides
