Hi Larry,
My impression of using GDAL/OGR in a java application is that you need
to build the c
code for a specific platform using some sophisticated tool for the
platform (ie Visual Studio 8 or something like that).
Maybe it's possible using Netbeans or other env for other environments,
but you are leaving behind
the cross-platform benefits of Java in these waters. Not that that is a
reason to not investigate, as I
agree having a universal format adapter would be a great asset.
Anyway count me interested in any ensuing discoveries.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Stefan,
Yes, it would be an interface to an external native-code
library. As you know, we do this already with ECW and MrSID. I think
it is OK as long as the code is cross-platform (which I believe GDAL/OGR
is).

Hei,
without looking on the page/posts
it is interesting - but I guess it will be a "binding"
to a C lib. So I
would say it is rather an idea for an external plugin
and not for an
integration due to the platform issue (Win, Linux,
MaxOSX). However,
could be that my comment was unqualified - as I didn't
look into the
details.
but - thanx for making me/us aware. Hope I'll found some
time on the
weekend to look into.
