[JPP-Devel] OpenJUMP extension for JEQL?

[Martin D. <mb...@re...>]

JUMPers,

For quite a while now I've been working on a query 
engine/system/language for doing processing on spatial datasets.  It's 
called JEQL, and there's some information about it here:  
http://tsusiatsoftware.net/jeql/main.html

For almost as long I've had the goal of creating an OpenJUMP extension 
which would expose the power of JEQL inside OJ.  The idea would be that 
users could write JEQL queries to create new datasets from existing 
ones, or even execute entire JEQL scripts inside JUMP (for instance, to 
do things like read and write file formats, or do coordinate system 
tranformations)

I haven't got very far with creating this extension, so I'm wondering if 
there is an OJ developer who would like to collaborate on making this 
happen?  I see this as being a benefit to both OJ and JEQL, by providing 
some very powerful capabilities to OJ, and by helping JEQL to become 
fully embeddable in a Java system.

If you're interested, contact me and I'll provide more details of the 
how the integration would work, and some ideas for what the UI should be 
able to do.

Martin
