Stefan,

I would advocate in favour of plugins having their own "box" within the SVN if all of the code within that plugin is required for the plugin to work or if the functionality offered by the plugin works as a logical group. For example each different file format supported should be a separate plugin. This allows users to pick and choose which formats they wish to support.

On the projection plugin there is a Java version of proj4 http://www.jhlabs.com/java/maps/proj/ we should port the deeJUMP projection plugin to use that instead. I think this should be a plugin.

Another thing I'd like to see at some point is the splitting of the core into different modules based on the namespace so org.openjump is separate from de.* etc. But I think that will warrent moving to maven as a build system to manage building the dependencies correctly.

Hei Andreas,

I agree with you - and the dependencies are also the reason why i did not add them to OJ. I fully support to add these plugin to svn and the soureforge site. Maybe we need to think about the structure here .. so that not every plugin gets a new box. So the wfs plugin could be added to the other wfs plugin?

btw.. there are two more things from deeJUMP which I did not transfer to my knowledge: - the point/vertex styling (Pirol reported on some problems with large dataset), but maybe here Geoffs plugin is already ahead - the coordinate transformation stuff (I did not add it, as it depends on proj4 which was a win dll)

cheers

Hello developers,

there are now just two plugins left in deeJUMP:

* the GetFeatureInfo plugin for WMS layers
* the deegree file adapters to use the deegree library to read/write
  GML3 and shapefiles

I realize that adding these plugins directly to OpenJUMP will result in
OJ depending on quite some more libraries, since deegree itself needs
some libraries. Since not everyone needs the functionality contained in
these rather small plugins, it's not really worth the effort (especially
since the rest of OJ does not immediately benefit from the new libs).

Since these plugins may be desirable for others anyway, we'd like to
make them publicly available. Since some plugins are already hosted
within the OJ svn, we would like to ask if it would be possible to add a
new deeJUMP plugin.

Best regards, Andreas
