Hi Jukka,
I had a look on both plugins source code.
I could not see anything obvious, they seem to parse spatialite
geometries about the same way.
SQLite store geometries in a blob including ewkb + a few extra
information. EWKB part is parsed by JTS in both cases.
I must have a deeper look.
Also I don't understand why the second plugin can access database
functions and not the first.
Function execution is supposed to be performed by spatialite, not by the
plugin.
OK, I have to install all that if I want to make serious tests.
Will take some time...

Hi,
I started a new thread about this plugin.
We have two plugins for Spatialite. The first is Spatialite DB Query plugin and
the second Spatialite Reader plugin. DB Query plugin works. However, it is not
really a Spatialite plugin because it does not use any Spatialite extentions.
It is a SQLite plugin which can read attributes and geometries from SQLite
database through jdbc driver. There are two different ways for storing
geometries into SQLite database and this plugin understands them both.
However, DB Query plugin can't use special Spatialite functions in the SQL
queries. The list of current Spatialite SQL functions shows what possibilities
all we are missing because of this
http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/spatialite-sql-4.0.0.html
I had some troubles with DB Query plugin and with one certain Spatialite
database. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem so I think it was
nothing critical.
The Spatialite Reader plugin can utilize Spatialite functions and on Windows it happens
through the "libspatialite-1.dll" library. The immediate problem we have now
with OpenJUMP 1.6 (actually all OJ versions since 1.3.1) is that something goes wrong
with converting Spatialite geometries into OJ geometries. Results look pretty odd as you
can see from the attached screen capture. Geometries of point layers are placed on a
horizontal line with zero North coordinates while the East coordinates seem to be
correct. Line layer becomes a set of vertical lines.
I put the plugin version which behaves for me like I described here
http://latuviitta.org/documents/spatialite_reader_plugin.zip.
In addition to the geometry problem there would also be a need to update the
plugin. Spatialite database file holds just the data and some metadata about
the data and database and for running the database operations the sqlite3 and
spatialite libraries are used. I checked that with the libraries included with
the Spatialite reader plugin the new Spatialite databases created with
Spatialite 4.0 version can't be opened. I guess that a new spatialite.dll
version would be needed for that. And even if the database is made with
Spatialite 3.0 version some features, like the routing VirtualNetwork tables
can't be used. I suppose that this is because virtual tables are a new SQLite
feature and for using them the sqlite3 binaries should be updated.
Ideal solution would be do build the plugin again by using most recent SQLite
and Spatialite version but I fear it is difficult. Programmers may understand
how it goes from this blog post by Alessandro Furieri

Perhaps fixing the geometry conversion with OJ 1.6 would be an easier task.
