The PROJ-JNI project has been accepted into the OSGeo Community program.
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation is pleased to welcome PROJ-JNI [1]
to our Community program. PROJ-JNI is a project that exposes Java Native
Interface bindings to the PROJ [2] C/C++ library.
The OSGeo Community program recognizes applications and tools that are
geospatial, freely available with an open source license, and are setup
to collaborate fairly. This program helps OSGeo promote innovation and
the hard work of teams and organizations worldwide.
About PROJ-JNI
----------------------
PROJ-JNI is a project that exposes Java Native Interface bindings to the
PROJ C/C++ library, the well-known and widely-used coordinate
transformation library that underpins most open-source geospatial
coordinate transformations. This project allows JVM ecosystem developers
to build directly upon recent and future improvements to PROJ via native
bindings, rather than requiring that libraries separately re-implement
all projection and transformation functionality in JVM languages.
PROJ-JNI currently works with system-installed versions of PROJ, and is
currently looking into the feasibility of simplifying the end-user
experience via pre-compiled native libraries for different platforms.
Source code is hosted on GitHub [3], which also contains documentation,
installation, and information about contributing.
About the Open Source Geospatial Foundation
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation [4] is a not-for-profit 501(c)(4)
organization to empower everyone with open source geospatial. The
software foundation directly supports projects serving as an outreach
and advocacy organization providing financial, organizational and legal
support for the open source geospatial community.
OSGeo works with GeoCat, OPENGIS.ch, Gaia3D and other sponsors, along
with our partners to foster an open approach to software, standards,
data and education.
