I might have not explained it clearly: this small library uses both GeOxygene code and OpenJump code. Using OpenJump code automatically makes this code GPL, no? God, these license issues are tiresome :) Julien wrote: "There are still some license issues there (haven't had > any agreement from Shewshek yet), and we haven't finished testing it > on windows (anybody interested in testing?), but would you be > interested in having such a plugin, even though it requires a C > library?" > > We've actually got some existing triangulation code for OJ that is > written in Java. Would you be interested in it? I know: as I told you before, I ran some tests with Mickaël's code. Unfortunately, despite the quality of Mickaël's code, I still have to use Shewshuk's code for some of my work (for performance reasons). It's actually the only reason why I mentionned it: in case anybody had the same constraints I have. I know it's troublesome, but sometimes, when you need performance, some C libraries can be useful. Let's hope the next JTS triangulation release will fill the gap.
