Re: [udig-devel] uDig Development

Scratch that ECW support... It is Windows only.

Looks like ECW may easily be taken care of, as ERMapper has a free
Java library
(http://www.ermapper.com/downloads/download_view.aspx?
PRODUCT_VERSION_ID=114) available that uses JNI to access their C/C++
ECW library. Don't know if there any licensing issues or if there's a
need for a uDig wrapper so all raster formats share an I/O API. Will
look into assisting GeoTools with GeoTIFF support as well as
investigating LAN and raster-in-SDE.
I don't have immense GIS experience, but from my use of ESRI's ArcGIS
software I'd say proper buffering of raster data is important.
Loading up a handful of ONCs and a couple NITF images practically
kills ArcMap. I know this is a GIS product, but it's still nice to be
able to plot imagery.

Well, one place that can always use work is image format support.
There are some folks in GeoTools land working on GeoTIFF, and we have
some simple world-file support for ordinary formats, but things like
ECW or LAN are unsupported at the moment. Or if you are particularly
adventurous, raster-in-SDE support.
Another place would be some raster manipulation plugins, but you
might want to wait a little while before starting that, for Jody and
co. to formalize their operations API, and to get the uDig skeleton
together (so you can see your results).

Hi Paul,
Well I have experience in dealing with image processing in the
geospatial realm, so I'll count that as an interest. Not sure what
sort of raster data uDig will support in the end, did a little
document searching but nothing extensive. Anything that you guys
can think of that's off the critical path, just let me know. May
end up that I don't have a choice in the matter at all. <G>

Hi Matt,
How you can help depends on where your development interests lie.
The process is open, the mailing list is open, the SVN server is
actually the same SVN server as geotools. udig.refractions.net for
background. The key is, since development is moving very fast, with
a fulltime team of four, picking a development area that is off of
the critical path but still useful!
What are your development interests?

Are you guys allowing for open development with uDig? I'd like to
help out in some of my free time, but unsure of where to start.
