Hi, I may be difficult to decide which of the many ogr2ogr options will be supported by user interface. Perhaps there could be an empty slot called "og2oogr parameters" which just passes on everything just as user has written. Some formats that ogr2ogr supports may have mixed geometries, 3D data or several layers and making use of them simple may also be a bit tricky. Conversion to gml and reading that instead of shapefiles would be better choise sometimes, but OJ needs those templates. And writing OpenJUMP driver directly into ogr2ogr would need C++ programmer, I fear. Anyway, your plan will be a good start and it will also offer one way to write data to Oracle and PostGIS.

That is actually the path I'm investigating now. The import utility would just script ogr2ogr to put the results as shapefiles in a temp folder.
