There was no way the source version could have compiled - I'd put an old makefile and a couple of old files into it :-( A working version is now up at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/TaxiDraw-0p0p1-preAlpha-src.tar.gz Removal of all the old files including the makefile (the case of the 'm' might have changed) would be advised.

I've had a lot of fun learning the Java2D API for my Java viewer, but I won't go through all the work needed to support creating and dragging around runways and taxiways if you're already planning to do it in C++.

Hey, a bit of friendly competition was meant to spur you to greater heights, not bin it :-) It was originally intended (and is intended primarily) as a facilities editor similar to afcad - to edit the logical networks, parking places, circuit directions, that sort of stuff. However, it seemed pretty reasonable to add simple taxiway / runway editing to it since I'm visualising them anyway. I'm not familiar with the X-plane editor, but yes, I'm planning on enabling editing of individual X-plane type taxiways and runways (centre, length, heading) with the mouse and keyboard. Not at an individual scenery polygon level though - I'll leave that to fgsd.

[Flightgear-devel] Java FlightGear airport viewer (very alpha)
I've been hacking around with Java Swing classes during free moments over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, and I have managed to come up with a minimally-used FlightGear airport viewer. I'm using JDK 1.4, but 1.3 might work as well (if it has the Java2D graphics API bundled). To try it out, follow these steps: 1. Copy $FG_ROOT/Airports/basic.dat.gz and $FG_ROOT/Airports/runways.dat.gz to some other location and unzip them. 2. Download http://www.megginson.com/flightsim/apteditor.jar (14K). 3. Type java -jar apteditor.jar basic.dat runways.dat to start. You can also add a fourth argument containing the ID of the default starting airport, as in java -jar apteditor.jar basic.dat runways.dat KSFO I'm going to try to make this into a proper editor, but for now, it just makes for a cute, minimalist viewer. I'll package up the source code when I have time -- so far, it's not commented or even sorted into packages.
