Hello all, I'm reprojecting a shapefile using geotools, but ArcMap doesn't recognize the metadata in the PRJ.
The incoming shapefile is in geographic coordinates, and the output projection is specified by an EPSG code. In this specific case, I'm using EPSG:32735 (UTM Zone 35S) I'm using CRS.decode() to generate a CoordinateReferenceSystem, and then I set the CoordinateReferenceSystem in the shapefile using ShapefileDataStore.forceSchemaCRS. The reprojection works great, with the shape coordinates only being micrometers different from the shapefile reprojection done in ArcMap. However, there are some substantive differences in the prj file that's written out by ShapefileDataStore. ArcMap specifically seems to have problems with the Linear Units, which in the geotools generated prj file is "m", but in an ArcMap reprojected shapefile is "Meter", and with the Datum, which in the geotools prj is "World Geodetic System 1984", but is "D_WGS_1984" in the ArcMap prj file. Does anyone have any guidance on how I can get geotools to create a more ESRI-friendly PRJ file? I'm using ArcMap 9.2 and Geotools 2.4.4 Thanks..........
