For this I appologize and (plea to OSGeo or TOPP to host our confluence).
Please use this as a starting point: - http://geotools.org/ It will direct you to the following (safe) starting place: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Home > I was able to find an HTML version of the guide using another link. I > tried to export the Dveloper Guide as a PDF file, but kept getting > this error. That error came from this page: > > http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/Home > > Does anyone have a PDF Developer Guide they can make available to me? I would like to include the html export as part of each major release, I agree that the PDF export is currently broken; most users work directly with the wiki. > Also, could someone give me a quick pointer to which classes > in GeoToolshandle ESRI Shapefile parsing? I've been doing some work on > a new ESRI Shapefile parser for OpenJUMP, but Paul Ramsey suggested I > take a look at the GeoTools code for this. It is the ShapeFileDataStore located in the plugin/shape module on trunk. > I look forward to working with the other GeoTools developers. I ask > for your patience as I make an effort to become a part of the GeoTools > community and try to bring the OpenJUMP project along for the ride. Sweet.
