Hi lists,<br>With this email we report some progresses on our work on ImageIO-EXT GDAL geotools plugin. Main details are available at the wiki page: [1].<br><br>Briefly,<br>this module allows to extend the GeoTools coverage data access capabilities by leveraging on the powerful GDAL Libraries via the ImageIO-EXT project [2].<br>
GeoServer will directly benefit of these improvements. You can test an unofficial GeoServer release we have produced to test the new capabilities.<br>It is available at [3] as a zipped war file.<br>Requested extensions to be added to that GeoServer release are available at [4]. A readme file available in this ZIP file contains instructions about how to add extensions and where to find needed GDAL DLLs/SOs. Note that due to licensing issues, the available dynamic libraries enable support for MrSID, JP2K (MrSID), DTED, Erdas Imagine, NITF formats.<br>
If you need to add support to JP2K (Kakadu) and ECW, see instructions available at [5] (OpenOffice) or [6] (PDF), sections "GDAL Requirements" and "GDAL Configurations" for further information on enabling ECW and Kakadu support on GDAL. For further helps on this topic, ask questions.<br>
