[deegree-devel] Working with the CRS code.

[Sunburned S. <sun...@gm...>]

I've been pouring over the Javadoc for the CRS code in both deegree
and Geotools for the last few days. I'm trying to implement some
common map projection support for OpenJUMP/BizzJUMP. I must admit that
both libraries seem to have more complexity than I need, although the
Geotools seems to be a good deal more complex than deegree code.

I was thinking about forking the deegree code, stripping out what I
didn't need, and tweaking the rest to meet my needs. However, I am
loathe to duplicate any more effort in the Java GIS world. :]

Would any deegree programmers be willing to work with me on some
improvements to the CRS code? I'm not talking about writing code, just
about answering questions and reviewing proposed changes/patches.

I'd also like to know if there would be any objection to my packaging
just the CRS code as a separate JAR if needed, after some improvements
were made.

At any rate, I'm not trying to rock the boat, just looking for ways to
work together instead of apart.

It seems I keep bumping into the need for this CRS code every few
months, and I need to bite the bullet and get something done.
