we talked about using native libs before here on the list. there JNA came up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Native_Access
and i already have a loader for native libraries in the back pocket, with some logic to traverse through folders to find the correct library for the platform. having our reader support compressed tiffs shouldn't be the big issue by the way. it's just, somebody has to hack it in. ..ede On 15.03.2013 15:55, Larry Becker wrote: > SkyJUMP has some limited support for GDAL via the OGR2OGR file conversion > utility.
