Hi, I need some help for a project with my friends. We need to design a desktop 
application that takes coordinates of a place and show the area of that 
coordinates to user. We intend to use java for whole project. In the 
application we will use some shortest path algorithms and using some user data 
we will find a path. Anyway, I want to ask something different:After user 
enters the coordinates we need to get the map of desired area and show it to 
user. While user is moving the mouse over the map, we need to show the 
characteristic of the point that mouse arrow is on. I mean if the arrow is over 
a river we need to inform user that he/she is pointing a water area or the 
elevation data of where user is pointing. I hope I made it a bit clear. I have 
no experience over either Grass or GeoTools or OpenGIS. In Grass i know that it 
has capabilities of using vector and raster data models. Visualization is also 
Grass's capability as i know. But which platform I
 will use is a big mystery for us now. Grass is built in C and we want to use 
Java for our project. Will that be a problem when we need to integrate Grass 
part to our whole project.Also if i want to develop the application with Grass, 
should i use Linux distribution? Can i develop on WinXP? What are your 
suggestions?Thank you...
