[SoC] GSoC 2014 - gvSIG-jexcel - weekly report #4

[Manuel Madrid]

Hi all,

* What did I get done this week?

I fixed some bugs related with the detection of the columns types. Now 
the plugin already recognize the following types: integer, long, float 
and double. The rest of the data is managed as string.

I finally decided to go for the spatial support. I made some changes and 
now the plugin is already able to load tables containing coordinates 
(X,Y and Z) as point layers.

* What do I plan on doing next week?

I will get to know how to generate the plugin package. Then I will 
generate an addon that could be installed from the gvSIG addons manager. 
I will check that it can be installed on the last gvSIG 2.1 build 
(2227). Finally I will upload the package to the gvSIG official repo so 
it can be installed by everyone.

* Am I blocked on anything?

I had some problems trying to use the latest version of the gvSIG 
library org.gvsig.tools. I wanted to use it as it has some interesting 
bugfixes but I finally couldn't.

Since those changes won't be available until the next gvSIG build 
release, Joaquín, my mentor, suggested to take a workaround in the meantime.

Best,
Manuel.
