Hei Frans,

could you outline in more detail what you are aiming to do?
I.e. what the students (after training) and the software (to be programmed) should be able to do? If it is about web mapping then you may consider a whole different range of FOSS4GIS.

thx for the nice reply .


i have work with our goverment spatial division, teaching java, and
they are 100% blank in development, this is a transformation program
from a division to create map become a services entity ->
www.bakosutranal.go.id

i am also teaching highschool develop apps on Java, and we success
create web java programmer in architectural mode, and they will get
schoolarship to university, mostly they are poor and smart, and
several dont have computer, and several never visit Jakarta (they
families never visit Jakarta)..

my idea to help them to the level that they can provide solution.

Landon, ur reply sound that using Geotools API will harder for them?
is that right?

i am still working for both to find the best one


hope my reply can link our problem. we have human resource and bad
education program in this country, so may be our student different
with people outside this country

Frans,

I will try to provide an intelligent answer to your question based on my
own experience.

Here is my observation of the main difference between Deegree and
Geotools:

Degree seems to be a more closely knit group of developers, coming from
just a couple of organizations, while Geotools draws developers from all
over the place.

This has some different implications for users of the libraries and for
developers.

I find the Deegree API is often easier to use but not as well
documented. The Geotools API is better documented but much more
complicated. I think this extra complication in Geotools stems from its
efforts to please such a diverse group.

I have contributed a single "unsupported" module to Geotools. This
process wasn't too burdensome, and I found a couple of the programmers
in Geotools were a delight to work with. I also learned a lot from my
very limited work on Geotools. I typically work on code that plugs into
a single program, and participation in Geotools requires you to write
code that can be used in all sorts of programs. You need a different
type of thinking to do that.

The programmers from Deegree were also very responsive on their mailing
list.

Deegree uses a feature model somewhat similar to JUMP's. I find the
Geotools feature model is very hard to learn and work with.

I hope that helps.
