[JPP-Devel] Opening files

2008-06-03 Thread Andreas Schmitz
Hi, I'm wondering. If I've got a reader (JUMPReader) and I'm using it in a DataSource, I often run into the problem of communicating data that was read from the file to the application. Example: I'm parsing a MapInfo file and would like to store the parsed style information somewhere. From the re

One comment - on my monitor the grey body text is a bit hard to read, due to low contrast. Would it be possible to use black for the bulk text, and some other colour for highlighting? (Blue maybe - in homage to the original Vivid colours...) Stefan Steiniger wrote: > Hi all, > > I found on Fr

Great work Stefan, It looks nice. I like the general design of the page which offers a clear structure Do you see this html structure as a simple entry point to access wiki documentation or do you think wiki should migrate to html ? I can see pros and cons for both tools, but I'd like to know wh

Yes, much better. I guess I meant the bolded text. It looks fine now, as does the orange highlighting. Stefan Steiniger wrote: > thank you all for your responses > > I changed the text color to (nearly) black. > Is it better now? > > > Some other colour for highlighting? > > you mean from Oran

I want to ask a question about a "strategic" move for OpenJUMP. I thought it best to ask here, before I mention the subject on the java-collaboration mailing list that was just set up at the OSGeo. Let me give you some background info, and then I will aske my question. A couple of weeks ago I dec

Andreas, I did a little reading in the old JUMP Developer Guide and the OpenJUMP Javadoc. I was wondering if you could indicate to me which method is used to obtain the FeatureCollection from the DataSource. Is it the installCoordinateSystem method? I see that it returns a FeatureCollection, but i

2008-06-03 Thread Martin Davis
Excellent question, SS. I'm not surprised to see this come up. Greater integration with GeoTools has often been suggested as the ultimate goal for future JUMP design, but I've always been concerned that GeoTools imposes an undesirable level of complexity. It would be nice to find a good path

Thanks for responding Martin. Martin wrote: "Your idea of "a small simple feature library" sounds like exactly what the idea of defining the JUMP Core API was meant to address. Does that sound right?" I am familar with this. If I remember it correctly there was a jump-api.jar and a jump-workbenc

Landon, Is there a need to implement your own subclass of SimpleFeature or would using the DefaultFeature implementation work. I'm guessing there is a need as you want something which is both a JUMP Feature and a GeoTools feature. I'm still working away at my DataObject framework. The DataObje

I have written adapaters a couple of times; it is a good way to approach the problem. Allowing client code (ie OpenJump) to provide a FeatureFactory is one of the ways you can ask GeoTools to make use of your adapters. In the past the GPL license (specifically on the open jump feature model) p
