We had talked a little the other day about a incorporating third-party reprojection code into OpenJUMP. I sent a post to the UDig list, since I know they support "on-the-fly" reprojection.
I know we don't necessarily want to mess with "on-the-fly" reprojection in OpenJUMP, but maybe we couls use the reprojection code from UDig for a stand-alone utility or for a OpenJUMP plug-in. Jody Garnett put a section on the wiki for us that talks about this: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Welcome+to+JUMP+Developers The Sunburned Surveyor ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sunburned Surveyor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sep 4, 2007 3:27 PM Subject: Re: [udig-devel] Transformation/Reprojection To: User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jody wrote: "Since this question is asked every couple of months by a jump developer it has made its way into the geotools user guide..." I really apologize about that. I'm sure that I'm the jackass that keeps asking the same question. UDig, GeoTools, GeoAPI, Kosmo, SIGLE, SkyJUMP, DeeJUMP... I have a hardtime keeping track of it all sometimes. Please be patient with me. The section you added to the wiki will be very helpful. I will look it over and will also forward this message to the JPP Developer List. Thanks for all of your help. I look forward to trying out UDig on my GIS project. :] SS On 9/4/07, Jody Garnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sunburned Surveyor wrote: > > We were discussing options for reprojection/transformation code on the > > OpenJUMP development list the other day.
