Are JCS and JTS part of this JUMP core? yes and no. . It is the hosting place for the current OpenJUMP development. . SkyJUMP and Kosmo have own source code repositories. The one from Skyjump is also on Sourceforge. . Only deeJUMP and PirolJUMP use OpenJUMP as base package. . JCS and JTS are not part of the JUMP core. JCS is hosted on jump-project.org. JTS is maintained and developed further by Martin Davis who is now working for Refractions (he also maintains the GEOS library)

Any initial > advise regarding accessing/modifying the GUI? yes and no. How to startup is documented on the wiki. make few changes as possible. I prefer to comment out old code and if inserting new or make changes I usually add a comment nearby (with start, end, date, some message: just browse for instance OpenJUMPConfiguration.java). So one can afterwards easier use the compare function. aehhm yes.. to see how it works, how plugins are utilized/bound start with the OpenJUMPConfiguration.java and JUMPConfiguration.java > > I also want to create an xcode project for the installation and > execution portion of the application for OS X releases.

Wish me luck(i'll need it!). mhm.. it is difficult to agree and not to aggree. As I pointed out earlier. We all have different backgrounds and mostly work in our free time on OJ, and such is of course limited. Only very few of us a educated programmers (which makes things more difficult). For instance if I could chose I would only develop "spatial algorithms" for map generalization or filtering or so... :) oh.. just a final note. I/most of us prefer short, "bulleted" emails .. this makes it easier for picking the right topics and browsing/reading. And I promise you will get answers faster (at least from me as I am saving most emails for the evenings).That is why I read/answered your email on the address things not yet. Ah yes.. finally I should also remark that if you don't get an answer after a few days, then usually nobody knows an answer (or your mail was too long ;). thanx for your interest!
