Hi,

just found this newly open sourced java library from Esri (Apache licensed):

https://github.com/Esri/geometry-api-java/

Regards,
Peter.

+1 to your proposed plan, Martin.

Makes sense to me!

Cheers,
Chris

At a very quick first look, its look like a possible replacement to JTS 
(Java Topology Suite) - at least partially, I don't know yet if the new 
library covers as much. Given that JTS is under LGPL license, this 
alternative under Apache 2 license may help.

However this library seems to have approximatively the same scope than 
the JTS library, namely two-dimensional geometries, maybe in Cartesian 
space (I didn't checked if they have this restriction too). Having the 
three-dimensional geometries defined by ISO 19107 may still an other 
business.

The plan that I would like to propose is to create ISO 19107 wrappers 
around those geometries, i.e. uses ISO 19107 interfaces in the SIS API, 
but using that library under the hood at least for two-dimensional 
geometries. This would allow us to plugin three-dimensional geometries 
more easily later. However the ISO 19107 standard is under revision 
right now, and it may be less effort to wait for stabilisation before to 
venture in such wrappers (if we go that way)...

This is pretty cool stuff...They appear to have open sourced their Hadoop
tools as well.

Hey Peter,

Very cool! Great to hear that Esri is working on open sourcing their Java
API too.

Not sure the relationships...yet. If you have contacts on that project, it
may be 
worth shooting them an email (either way).

Cheers,
Chris
