Re: [udig-devel] uDIG/GeoTools data
|
Sounds like a good place to start. Adding a plugin to uDig from a
geotools module isn't too much work, but I'd start with evaluating
the Geotools side of things first.

We're just about to start development of an RCP application which
will use uDIG. The main data store for the application is likely
to be MySql and it'd be really handy to be able to include the GIS
data in the database along with the normal data using MySql's
spatial extensions.
So, has anyone had any experiences with MySql's spatial extensions
(i.e. good/bad?) and does anyone know if there is a datastore/
featuresource available?
There is a datastore in GeoTools, but it's not actively mantained
and could use some love (for example, geometries are transferred
over the
wire a WKT instead as of WKB as far as I remember).
As for the mysql spatial extensions, they are very minimal. Most
operations are really faked out, for example intersects() will work
against the bounding boxes, not against the real geometries,
and many others are just plain missing. Consider carefully if you can
live with these limitations, and look at the wealth of capabilities
that postgis has instead.
