[Freegis-list] searching information about the gistooklit project

[Andreas von der Heide]

Hello!

a few days ago I have found the gistoolkit project in sourceforge
implemented in java and licensed unter LGPL. The latest released version is
from Juli 2003, but in the cvs tree there are many changes dated in 2004
(the lastest from December 04). Installing the cvs version points out that
it shows many improvements and runs (relatively) stable.

The gistoolkit editor is an application based on the library and I am very
impressed about the implemented features, especially the digitizing
abilities which can directly be executed on postgis and other spatial
enabled databases.

I have looked for background information about this project and the
maintainers but found only a few. It seems to me that is is very isolated
from the rest of the java gis world (why?). Therefore my question: Is
anybody out there who can tell me a little bit more about gistoolkit?

Greetings!
