my 2cents 1) @Edgar: I have not heard about problems with your plugin. The only lack is its userfriendlyness. But projections are thought for expert users, and not for day to day gis users. 2) I had a go with the newer geotools code (Edgar uses older libs) about a year a go but stuck with some

In the code we wrote at Vivid, reprojection was only done when requested, on data load. Trying to implement reprojection on the fly gets you into all kinds of gnarly design issues - I'm sure Jody can fill you in on the fun they had in uDig trying to make this work transparently. I could see r

Hi Paul, Yea, once you open the door on projection-on-the-fly, the use cases multiply like rabbits. We have to consider what implication reprojection has on the edit tools. I'm concerned about coordinate drift too. If you edit during projection-on-the-fly server access, you are forced to repr

Hi Larry, If you "open" a file or load records from the database I would typically want the features to retain their original projection and reproject on the fly when rendering them in a different projection. The reason for this is to ensure you don't artificially create any coordinate drift w

I have a question about Coordinate Projection in JUMP. Does it happen when the dataset is opened (as with ArcMap)? If so, what happens when you save the dataset? Is it saved in the original projection (i.e. reprojected back) or is it saved with the new projection? I can see use cases for both.

Jody has offered to help if there is interest in prefecting/fixing the code that Edgar wrote for Coordinate Projection using the GeoTools library. I'd take this on myself but I have already made a lot of other commitments. If we have any takers I will let Jody know. This sounds like a great oppor
