[Java-collab] JUMP Lib and GeoScript

[Justin Deoliveira]

Hey Landon,

A java geoscript implementation has been an idea that has floated around.
The idea behind geoscript is to provide a higher level api for geotools
that is much easier to use and focused purely on convenience for
scripting languages. The same could certainly apply to straight java as
well.

I admit I am not up to the latest on how OpenJUMP and geotools fit
together. Does OpenJUMP utilize geotools in any way?

Anyways, certainly interested in continuing the conversation.
