Hello Artur Hefczyc a =E9crit : > Where should be located this 'org.geotools.cs' package?

James will gives you a much more accurate answer than me. For the few I'm aware of, I think that OpenMap is an older project (first versions targeted JDK 1.1) less focussed on OpenGIS compliance. For example the last time I have looked in, I didn't saw something among the line of org.opengis.cs.CS_CoordinateSystem. Sometime, it is easier to start a new project than trying to make major change for OpenGIS compliance in an existing API. Geotools faced the same problem. They were Geotools I (which was not OpenGIS compliant, because created before OpenGIS specs was publicly available), and now there is Geotools II: a brand new project incompatible with the older one. Nevertheless, I think there is a lot of very valuable stuff in OpenMap. I would love to see Geotools, OpenMap and similar projects merging in a common project. Maybe some license stuff will have to be cleaned (OpenMap is opensource, but the license is something else than LGPL). James is the best person for informing us what the possibilities are at this time... Martin. |
