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 provided a good overview over the functionality of the component, which is now gone from java.net but available on archive.org. Please have a look at the examples section in addition.
The content of this project are also available at Maven Central and can be referenced in your pom.xml
with the following coordinates:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jxmapviewer</groupId>
<artifactId>jxmapviewer2</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</dependency>
You can find some examples as part of this source code repository. You can open them as a separate project in your IDE and run them there. Alternatively, they can be run from the command line after creating a Maven package from them.
$ mvn clean package
$ java -cp target/jxmapviewer2-examples-2.5.jar sample1_basics.Sample1
An example on how to integrate GeoPackage data has been implemented here: msteiger#122
This source code used in this project is based on:
- SwingX-ws-2009_06_14.jar formerly hosted at java.net/projects/swingx
- SwingX 1.6.3 (released Feb 2012) formerly hosted at java.net/projects/swingx-ws
This is what we have done so far ...
- Extract the JXMapViewer part from the full package
- Upgrade to Java 6 (version 2.1)
- Upgrade to Java 7 (version 2.5)
- Fixed javadoc
- Replaced
system.out.println()
withapache.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
- Fixed use of deprecated code
- Fix bugs that were posted on java.net/jira/browse/SWINGX_WS
