[OSGeo-Discuss] Geomajas Geometry Project

[Pieter De Graef]

Thanks for the tip.

Basically I'm looking to make advantage of the GWT by having a single API
that I can use on both client and server.
We could indeed have 2 implementations (one using JTS one using JSTS), but
what I'm mainly looking for, is what model should the API ideally follow.
