[Geotools-gt2-users] Spatial Data Editor

[Edgar S. <ed...@so...>]

Dear all,

I am a german student doing my thesis in applied studies of media informatics. The thesis' topic "gps supported and graphical editing of spatial information" is a new field to me though I am positive that through the great work of great work already done with geotools I'll conquer the *quest*. The final goal is an as sophisticated as possible java application, from the users point of view ;) .. realized in a 3 month time, including the explaining paperwork for the project and used technologies.

I already did some research and looked at the j2examples, but I am still unsure how to present spatial information as a swing component, which enables editing of the features and their attributes. I saw this implemented in Jump, but couldn't find any georeferencing in it. So I am trying now to get familiar with JTS to work it out.

Questions:
a.) Does anybody know about open source applications, tools, docs introducing me to components that I could be helpful?
b.) Is the general way of using geotools in conjunction with JTS possible? Are there more docs except the ones included in geotools/jts?

Thanks a lot
Ede
