Yup that's pretty much the desire. I wanted to develop a Java based one that could read/write LAS 1.2 natively and contribute it back to open source in the hopes that the community at large would support it....
I will look around some more to see if someone has already implemented this granted that it is such a basic thing. -----Original Message----- From: Howard Butler [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 7:16 AM To: Patel, Ronak Avinash (US SSA) Cc: Froumis, James A (US SSA); [email protected] Subject: Re: [Liblas-devel] libLAS in Java On Jul 9, 2009, at 7:36 PM, Patel, Ronak Avinash (US SSA) wrote: > I don't mind submitting my work back to the community if the community > can help build it and maintain it. We could host it, but it would be the responsibility of those who want and use a native java libLAS to build and maintain it. People don't maintain what they don't use very well. Our .NET bindings are languishing a bit because those who use it haven't been able to find the time to pull them forward to the new libLAS 1.2 stuff, for example. I understand the desire for native java LAS processing, but I still don't understand what this desire would have to do with libLAS. Do you wish to copy the API and behavior or libLAS in native Java, or do you really just want LAS read/write functionality? Java-based LAS read/write may already exist out there. I do remember seeing at least one example, but it was only LAS 1.0, and I don't remember if it was open source.
