[Geotools-devel] Cylindrical Equal Area Projection

[Peter B. <pet...@ya...>]

Hello-    I would like to contribute to GeoTools by implementing the Cylindrical Equal Area Projection:
http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/cylindrical_equal_area.html
In doing so, we should be able to support other cylindrical equal area projections like NSIDC EASE-Grid Global (EPSG:3410), Behrmann (EPSG:54017), Peters, Gal, etc.
I am a geotools novice but would like to contribute. What is the process for adding a new projection? 

I believe the first step is to implement a class that extends MapProjection. This code looks like a good place to start:
http://trac.osgeo.org/proj4j/browser/trunk/src/main/java/org/osgeo/proj4j/proj/CylindricalEqualAreaProjection.java
What else needs to be done?

Thanks,Peter
