Hi Jukka, thanks for the quick response - you're a nice guy, really appreciate it.

I am a GIS developer - I was thinking about helping to code a GDAL plug-in, because OJ (or our implementation at least) could really use some advanced raster functions. I came across this thread below and agree with both you and Landon, this would help OJ compete with the likes of QGIS etc.

What do you, or others think - any ideas suggestions?

I really think integration of C libraries directly into OJ is a bad
thing. Incorporating native libraries can be a real challenge when
your distributing a Java program for MS Windows, Linux, and Mac. It
also requires that at least some of our Java programmers deal with C
code when building and distributing OpenJUMP.

If GDAL was incorporated, I'd like to see that done as a plug-in if
possible, and not in the core.

*If GeoTools already wraps GDAL, that is certainly something that is**
**worth investigating.*

Megabytes do not have so big meaning nowadays but I like still a lot that
OpenJUMP takes only about 20 MB on the disk and it starts very fast. Kosmo
comes with 26 dlls (17 MB) and gvSIG with 32 dlls (18 MB). It looks like
most dlls are needed for GDAL and support of different image formats.

....

*It might be good idea to have the OpenJUMP advanced imagery support as a**
**separate plugin.*  Compressed tiff files cannot be opened at all. And for
some reason the Sextante raster option does not open our aerial images at
all, not even as untiled and uncompressed. *It would be very nice to get**
**better support for different tiff variants.*
