Hei Andreas, thank you for your clarification.. which brings good news!!! So.. we will have a look on it - at some point ;)
Similar to Martin D: last time I looked on Geotools, 8 months ago?, the examples were not working for me and the lib had some dependecies that blow up everything. But this is a long time ago.. so maybe now its better. However, their interface changes in the last years left some uncomfortable feeling. ciao from Calgary stefan Andreas Poth schrieb: > Hi, > > a) deegree 2 is now in a more or less stable state.
