Subject: [Gdal-dev] Java SWIG bindings


To All,

I have added support for Java in the SWIG bindings section of the code.
As this is a first commit of some code, I would appreciate anyone who
could test it out!

Some notes:
The build process works on the MS box and the Linux box that I have
access to, but these two machines represent a very small portion of
possible platforms, so I anticipate some time to get the kinks worked
out of the build process.

I have used the most Java-natural classes where I could.  That means
exchanging Hashtable, Vector, and Color objects among other things.  If
you notice any incompatibilities with the intent of GDAL and my
choices, they can be changed.

I have used NIO Direct ByteBuffers for the main part of the data
exchange in the RasterIO.  Please note that I think this is by far the
fastest way to exchange data, but I'm open to other's suggestions.  If
you're using something older than Java 1.4 these will not work!

I have one test application in the apps directory, and I have another
to add soon that demonstrates the reading of raster data.

Hi Ben,

could you outline the process for building the Java SWIG wrappers for GDAL please.  I have checked out the code from CVS, but when I look at the swig directory I see both an ANT build file as well as makefiles.  I look forward to being able to try it out.

Many thanks,

Norman
