Overview

This project is based on the JXMapViewer component of SwingX-WS.

The project was hosted at SwingLabs.org, but has been discontinued. We extracted the JXMapViewer part from the latest SwingX-WS version available and continue developing it.

The JXMapViewer Tutorial by Joshua Marinacci gives a good overview over the functionality of the component.

This source code used in this project is based on:

• SwingX-ws-2009_06_14.jar http://java.net/projects/swingx
• SwingX 1.6.3 (released Feb 2012) http://java.net/projects/swingx-ws

The content of this project are also available at Maven Central and can be referenced in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jxmapviewer</groupId>
    <artifactId>jxmapviewer2</artifactId>
    <version>2.2</version>
</dependency>

What we have done so far ..

• Extract the JXMapViewer part from the full package
• Upgrade to Java 6
• Fixed javadoc
• Replaced system.out.println() with apache.commons.logging
• Removed broken TileProviders
• Remove dependencies to SwingX (and its indirect dependencies)
• Fixed tile caching so that only tiles are cached, not everything
• Extract user interaction from the viewer
• Make CompoundPainter use Lists instead of Arrays
• Find out what the "Java One" hack is and replace it with proper implementation
• Improved zooming in - images of coarser resolution are used until new images are loaded
• Fixed thread leak when setting new TileFactory
• Supports OSGi bundles (contains MANIFEST.MF)
• Supports Maven dependency management

What we plan to do ..

• Fix bugs that were posted on http://java.net/jira/browse/SWINGX_WS ( mostly complete )
