JUMP: Free, Open Source Java GIS

Just wanted to let people know about a free Java Geographic Information System (GIS) that I created with Martin Davis at Vivid Solutions.

It's called JUMP, and you can use it to edit Shapefiles and GML. If you're learning Java it's also a good example of design patterns and Swing. And if you've been wanting to contribute to an Open Source project, this might be a fun one for you.

JUMP is free; and it has been used on an important government project (RoadMatcher).

Update: Some enthusiastic JUMP users have decided to create their own customized version of JUMP, which will be called OpenJUMP: http://jump-pilot.sourceforge.net/index.php

  2. Good to hear from you Steve! I'm looking forward to entering the world of Continuous Integration (I assume you are referring to Cruise Control).

  3. Why would someone have Jan Mayen and Svalbard on their map of Europe and not Iceland? What do those 7000 polar bears and 2000 sorry gits in Svalbard have that us 300.000 in Iceland don't have? I'm offended as an Icelander :)
