moovida writes "JGrass represents the joined efforts of the professional
and the academic environment to spread out the voice of
GRASS
in the professional
environment as opposed to the research environment.
JGrass, the java GIS born out of a cooperation between the Jamaican
I.C.E.N.S.
of Kingston, the Italian
HydroloGIS
and the
C.U.D.A.M.
of Trento is not the short form for "JamaicanGrass" as many of you could think. Instead
it stands for "Java Grass" and is a desktop GIS dedicated to hydro-geomorphologic raster analysis.
With it's over 40 morphologic related modules it takes into the production environment
the last 10 years of research at the hydrology department of the
Environmental Engineering Faculty
of the University of Trento. JGrass is built on top of the open source GIS GRASS and can exploit its capabilities.
The improved user interface and scripting facility allows an application oriented user
environment focused on the task to be performed. Not easy to say whether one should love JGrass or not. The best thing to do is to read about
on the
JGrass homepage
, download it from its
sourceforge site
and enjoy it!"

Industry: JGrass goes UDig
[+]
moovida writes "It is official, JGrass goes UDig ! The JGrass team feels that it is time to join forces to continue the constant growth they had in the last years. Lots of things that JGrass misses are supplied greatly in other java gisses.
That is the main reason why the JGrass team has taken the decision to join the UDIG team with all the JGrass code that is possible to migrate to their project and join their community. This will mainly add raster analysis support to UDig and also hopefully bring the worlds of GRASS and UDig to know each other a bit better.
The two teams had a first offical IRC maraton of which the logs can be found here, the WIKI page of the migration progress is here. The JGrass team will be supported by HydroloGIS and Riccardo Rigon at the CUDAM. Special thanks go to the UDig team for the help they already gave and will give in future.
As Pope John XXIII stated and Riccardo Rigon often repeats, search for what will join, not for what will split you up."
