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?
It is bound mainly to GRASS's raster format, which didn't change for a while.
Also it is bound to it's workspace organisation, which splits a map in
different folders like colormaps, categories, and some other properties,
apart of the map itself.
Before we could start to port also the vector part, we noticed geotools
and we never went on with it. GRASS has a lot of analysis tools, as most
of you probably know and I think the compatibility should be kept, if
not even improved.
So, to clarify for me, JGRASS is a port of GRASS to Java? Using the same
formats and data organization schemes, but re-implemented in Java code?
