Hei Helmut, yes it could work. However, it would be good to know first if you want to stay independent from OpenJUMP (since it is GPL) and really use your own GUI. Becasue OJ has a couple of nice API GUI functions - so, if it is simple stuff it may be better to start with OpenJUMP directly and also checking out how the OJ Database Plugins are done (source code should be in the jar files that you download - but rename them to a "zip"). for the diverse list of database plugins (beside the internal PostGIS reader) check out the plugin page: http://openjump.org/wiki/show/Plugins
one of the additional gui libraries that is already used in OJ is buoy.jar (http://buoy.sourceforge.net/) I don't think that BlueJ would make a difference. Not sure if anyboday of us ever used it. However, most of the starter docon our wiki was written for Eclipse. stefan Helmut Seidel schrieb: > Hello everybody, > > thank you for your warm welcome! > > Ok, I I'll have to do my plugin(s) in Java.
