<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">After presenting at FOSS4G UK, we have released as open source a Java SLD Editor based on GeoTools and think it needs help from the wider open source GIS community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The source code, user guide and developer’s guide is available here:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><a href="https://github.com/robward-scisys/sldeditor" target="_blank">https://github.com/robward-scisys/sldeditor</a></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The application is based on the GeoTools library which underpins GeoServer and so has the advantage that all GeoServer vendor options can be dynamically rendered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Whilst not wanting to duplicate work, this feature is not available in QGIS, which is written in C++ and has a different rendering engine that does not support GeoServer vendor options.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The application is not complete and some areas need to be refactored however I think the application in its current state more than demonstrates what is possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">There will certainly need to be collaboration with the GeoTools project but in the future with the GeoPackage and SLD standards groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
