Jukka, Thank you for your suggestion. It looks like there is some excitement among other programmers about the ability to use SQLLite, H2, or a similar database to support writable large datasets in OpenJUMP. I agree with the comment in your post, PostgreSQL can be a pretty big elephant for a lot

[JPP-Devel] Google Summer of Code 2009

2009-01-12 Thread Sunburned Surveyor
It doesn't sound like Google will be sponsoring as many students for this year's summer of code, and we aren't sure if the OSGeo will even get a spot. The OSGeo would like us to start early on looking for students and project ideas so we can get things vetted and present some good projects to Googl

The downsides of a binary file approach is that you lose the ACID transactions of a database and the nework overhead you dislike is very useful for spatial data: geographic data can grow expontionally, and huge datasets are best centralized. It would be nice to have a java spatial database that

Stefan, Thanks for your offer to mentor. What languages would you be able to mentor a student in? I'll let Wolf know we have at least two mentors available. I think it will be up to us to find the students. I'm not sure if Chris is still enrolled, or if he would be interested in working with us a

[JPP-Devel] Adding an attribute to all Feature objects in a FeatureCollection.

I'm in the midst of writing the unit tests for my plugin that adds attributes to all the Feature objects in a layer using information stored in a CSV file. I'm having some trouble adding an attribute to all of the Feature objects in a Feature Collection. I can sucessfully modify the FeatureSchema

yes... you have to copy every feature to the new schema. There is an class and method in the api package (taken from pirol) that does copy from an old to a new schema. (It could be that the examples on the wiki provide code for that too. But I think I also answered an email on that issues just

Thanks for the suggestions Stefan and Martin. I totally understand the logic of making Feature objects immutable. I'll mine the wiki for existing code that can do what I am looking for. Maybe a better solution would be to create a new layer with that contains clones of the Feature objects with the
