Java implementation of the geodesic routines in GeographicLib

This is a library to solve geodesic problems on an ellipsoid model of the earth.

Licensed under the MIT/X11 License; see LICENSE.txt.

The algorithms are documented in

• C. F. F. Karney, Algorithms for geodesics, J. Geodesy 87(1), 43–55 (2013); Addenda.

The Java package is available here.

Here is the documentation on the application programming interface

You can build the example programs direct, inverse, or planimeter, with, for example:

cd inverse
mvn compile
echo -30 0 29.5 179.5 | mvn -q exec:java

The ouput should be
