I agree. Having a good, free projection library would be desirable.

The deegree project decided to implement their own projection library,
or rather implement it directly in deegree. This will probably happen
in the next few weeks, since some work has already been done (before
noting the existence of the proj4 Java port).

For the next major version of deegree, a more modular approach is
planned, so the projection library is probably going to end up as a
seperate module that could be used from OJ as library. This is going
to happen during the next year or two.

Best regards, Andreas
