[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers in an Eclipse Workbench!?

[Falko Bräutigam]

Hello all,

my name is Falko Bräutigam. I'm a core developer of the POLYMAP3 project. I 
would like to introduce this project here to see what other OpenLayers users 
think about the idea of bringing together the power of OpenLayers, Eclipse 
Workbench, OSGi and GeoTools.

POLYMAP3 aims to provide a spatial data workbench and OGC server. We have been 
working on the project for 8 months now. It is a complete rewrite of an existing 
codebase. It is based on Eclipse/RAP, qooxdoo, OpenLayers, GeoTools, uDig, 
JGrass and a lot of other great open source software components.

   * uses OpenLayers as the map component
   * uses Eclipse Workbench UI
   * GeoTools core
   * extensible architecture based on Eclipse/OSGi framework
   * multi-user

OpenLayers is a great software project. It is one of the core components of our 
project. Many thanks the all the developers.

A lot of work has been done so far for the development of POLYMAP3. However, the 
project is in early stage and there are still a lot of things to do. Especially 
for advanced feature editing functions based on OpenLayers there are open 
issues. Any help with this or any other issue or feedback would be greatly 
appreciated.

POLYMAP3 is an open effort to build a web-based spatial data workbench for each 
and everything and nothing in particular. The UI is much like uDig but 
multi-user and runs in the browser. Based on Eclipse the architecture is very 
open. Basically it can be extended in any way.

Thanks,

Falko
