[OSGeo-Discuss] GIS_Libraries

[Ljiljana Ilic]

Thanks Tyler,

I am looking for Java GIS library, which is capable of working with various geospatial data 
formats: ESRI shapefiles, KML, GML, PostGis, GeoTiff etc.
I am looking for library that is quite stable and with remarkable rendering capabilities, panning and zooming.
I want to define somehow what will be seen in particular zoom layer, and how (styling).
Also major requirement is freedom to place additional level contained from symbols on top 
of basically static background map. It is required that symbols on top layer often change 
their style and that should not affect rendering of map too much.
I need to develop desktop application with support for vector maps.
I already look at Geotools library, and i am looking for something similar but with better rendering performance.

Best regards.
