Re: [udig-devel] Help with simple plugin
|
I had to do a web search to find the two primers:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/download/attachments/31212/ISO19109+Primer.pdf
- http://docs.codehaus.org/download/attachments/31212/ISO19123+Primer.pdf
Stupid stupid stupid ...
On the bright side I am trying to document GeoTools as people ask me
questions - although I only write docs if someone is going to actually
test them and give me feedback. So if you are game join me on IRC
freenode#geotools.

One thing that *almost* helps is that GeoTools is based on "standards"
published by the OGC (so you can download lots of documentation and
you will find the names line up between the GeoTools code base and the
class diagrams in the standards).
However recently they started working with OGC people started working
more with ISO Standards (which you have to pay in order to read). This
is EVIL - one nice person (Bryce!) has made up "primers" on the ISO
specs that have pictures. These primers are not kind to the the faint
of heart, but they are kind to the faint of budget.
You will also find the GeoAPI project useful - as they convert the
standards into normal Java interfaces for us to all use.

Hey again, Andrea!
Yeah, it turns out Im fighting to understand geotools, and not uDig
(yet), my bad asking about it as if it was uDig :P.
I´m checking the link you gave me on the docs of geotools and am
trying to understand it. Overall it looks like a complex architecture,
but seems solid. I will keep trying to manage to understand this :P.
Thanks again,
