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). Larry On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 10:31 PM, Stefan Steiniger

Yep, I'd agree. And for something so core to the application, I think it's really important to preserve the 100% Java aspect, with all the benefits of platform-independence that it brings. Plus all that JNI hacking - brr! Format transformation is less core to the architecture, so it

GDAL/OGR does much more than reprojection. For instance, using the ogr2ogr utility, which is written in just a few pages of code, you can create shapefiles from an ESRI personal geodatabase while reprojecting the result with a single command. It also supports practically every raster format.

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
