Hi,
I wonder why OpenJUMP shows you lat/long coordinates. JUMP should not know
anything about the projection but just show the coordinates that are stored
inside the shapefile. Are you sure that your shapefile is holding coordinates
in meters? What happens if you rename the .prj file to something else and
re-open the file with a) OpenJUMP and b) with other software? You should not
need any plugins or anything if you just want to work in the original
coordinate system.

Aihe: [jump-users] Projected Coordinate Systems
Hello Jump Users,
Does Open Jump read /use the Project-Files (*.prj), which comes along
with ESRI Shapefile formats?
I have a Shapefile (*.shp), and the Coordinate System of this file is
a Projected Coordinate System.
(like "UTM Zone 32" or "Gauss Krueger Zone 2"...)
But for some reason, in Open Jump my Shapefile will always be displayed
with Geographic Coordinates (Lat° Long°).
I do not get meters, but degrees.
Plus the Geometry of my region differs from what it should look like.
Whatever Projection I assign to my Shapefile (in ARCMap), Open Jump
won´t accept it....
(With georeferenced GeoTIFF Rasters it works perfectly alright -
Unit: Meters, Geomety: correct, Coordinate System: correct)
(OpenJump 1.2D / Windows XP)
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for helping !!
