http://tsusiatsoftware.net/jts/javadoc/index.html What is OpenJUMP Download OpenJUMP facts sheet "JUMP is a computer program that uses a unified mapping platform as a visualisation framework..." (changed ESRI keynote on What is GIS? by M. Bobzien) But to be a bit more serious - OpenJUMP is an open source GIS software written in Java and it is based on JUMP GIS by Vivid Solutions. Furthermore... It is a Vector GIS that can read rasters as well . OpenJUMP is known to work on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms, but should work on any operating system that runs Java 1.5 or later. It is not just another free demo viewer, but you can edit, save, analyze etc. with JUMP / OpenJUMP . It works, even with medium size datasets, and with professional touch . It provides a GIS API with a flexible plugin structure, so that new features are relatively easy to develope around the sound mapping platform. It utilizes OGC standards like SFS, GML, WMS and WFS . It is already translated in English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Portugese and Spanish. The translation in other languages is in progress. ..and it is free (under the GPL license). OpenJUMP finally adds some key enhancements to the original JUMP software, including: . I18N (internationalization), . more drawing and geometry editing tools, . advanced attribute query, . enhanced set of selection tools, . image export in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format, . function to copy objects including attributes, . it can show layers dependent on the current map scale, . more classification methods for thematic coloring . ... OpenJUMP is the result of a larger umbrella project called the JUMP Pilot Project (JPP). The OpenJUMP network consists of english speaking Jump-Pilot Project, the french Projet SIGLE, the german University of Osnabrück project Pirol, the companies Lat/Lon GmbH (producers of the deegree web map server) and Integrated Systems Analysts, Inc. ; and a number of others, such as freelancers, people from municipalities, reserach institutes and universities (University of Zurich, EPFL, Ostrava University, Hafen- City University Hamburg,... ).

For more recent informations about licensing read the readme.txt file of the OJ distribution you are using. OpenJUMP Core & Plugins/Extensions OpenJUMP is distributed under the GPL2 license. A description of this license can be found in the "gpl2_license.txt" file in the "licenses" folder or on http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html . Used libraries Regarding the multitude of libraries that are included in the OpenJUMP distributions (currently CORE and PLUS) please refer to the chapter LICENSING in http://jump-pilot.sourceforge.net/svn/core/trunk/etc/readme.txt as the most current source for information on this topic. ErMapper ECW/JP2 SDK libraries Proprietary ECW libraries (as distributed in the PLUS edition) are a quite confusing issue and therefore deserve a special mention here. Until version 3.3 the ErMapper SDK used to have a triple licensing policy described here. Later versions restricted the license so much that a use and distribution in open source software is either not possible or bound to very strict conditions. Erdas website now invite SDK user to acquire a license through the following form. OpenJUMP uses libraries based on the version 3.3 of the ErMapper ECW JPEG 2000 SDK. The binaries and sources were actually taken form the gvSIG project. As GPL2'd software it uses these under the "ECW JPEG 2000 SDK PUBLIC USE LICENSE AGREEMENT" Use of the ECW JPEG 2000 SDK with Unlimited Decompressing and Unlimited Compression for applications licensed under a GNU General Public style license ("GPL") is governed by the "ECW JPEG 2000 SDK PUBLIC USE LICENSE AGREEMENT" Be aware: It contains noteworthy restrictions. You are not allowed to sell or lend the drivers or an OJ distribution if it contains these libraries. You can of course always strip the release from these library files (check readme.txt) to gain the full freedom of free software again.

It is designed to work with DXF PlugIn on inport/export CAD files Raster Image Plugins OpenJUMP provides a basic raster support to display TIFF, JPG and PNG. ECW & JPEG2000 support is also provided if ECW drivers are correctly installed (see Working with Raster page). There are other raster plugins. Some of them require Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) libray. JAI for different platforms can be found here . an improved version is the image plugin from Project PIROL: download here - which in the new version also supports GeoTIFF files To work with the pirol plugin you need to install JAI and additionally to download the BaseClasses package.
