Re: [udig-devel] JGrass and uDig

Lots of changes are going on at the moment in the JGrass team and
architecture. One thought and wish of mine would be that to join the
uDig development and merge all the raster algorythms into it, as well as
everything suitable from JGrass.
Andrea, how much relationship does JGrass have with GRASS itself? Format
sharing? Workspace sharing? Actual code sharing? Does it easily track
GRASS as GRASS does version upgrades or is it bound to a particular version?
Following the last coverage changes in
geotools, I guess this should be possible and would bring positive
additions to both groups. Please take into consideration that this would
anyway mean a hughe amount of work from our side.
Indeed! We are honored you would consider uDig as your platform choice.
To understand if this could be in fact feasible, I would need to talk
to someone (or the IRC channel) about advantages and if and how this
could be achieved.
Jesse is your main man. He's on #udig on IRC most days (but this week he
is on a business trip to Atlanta, so do not feel ignored). Jody is on
the same trip, hence the relative quiet.
Please let me first of all know if the uDig team is interested in this and to
who I may talk to about this issue.
I think we will find this is very feasible, if you're willing to put in
the effort, and I do not think it will introduce any particular platform
issues, if things are done using the existing extension mechanisms,
which are plentiful. By slotting in a new JGRASS renderer and using
existing JGRASS data access mechanisms, it might even be... easy? :) OK,
hope springs eternal...
