Open Source Java GIS Software

GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. Designed for interoperability, it publishes data from any major spatial data source using open standards: WMS, WFS, WCS, WPS and REST

GeoTools is an open source (LGPL) Java code library which provides standards compliant methods for the manipulation of geospatial data. GeoTools is an Open Source Geospatial Foundation project. The GeoTools library data structures are based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications.

Karto allows to calibrate a scanned map (or aerial photos) with some known geo-points (Lambert, UTM, ...). After that, you can add any points (GPS points) in the map to build your own map. You can also add a transparent GIF image in the map after calibration (cave, mines, roads, ...). You can realize your own cartes with the data you add inside adding/showing/hiding layers of data. You can import/export your data files (after checking and correcting them) in differents formats.

The Wildfire Management Tool (WMT) predicts the potential fire behavior of a wildland fire. WMT incorporates a 3D terrain viewer, the tenets of the Campbell Prediction System (CPS) and the Rothermel fire spread equations to depict fire behavior. WMT is used to adjust tactics & strategies to ensure the safety of firefighters and the effective use of firefighting resources. Requires Java 8 (included) - http://www.java.com/download

GpsPrune is a java application to view and manage coordinate data, eg from GPS units. With it you can load a variety of text and Xml formats, view the data (in 2d and 3d), edit and convert the data, correlate photos and audio, create charts and more.

GeOxygene aims at providing an open framework which implements OGC/ISO specifications for the development and deployment of geographic (GIS) applications. It is a open source contribution of the COGIT lab. at the IGN (the French National Mapping Agency).

The BEAM project has moved away from SourceForge.net to a dedicated web site at http://envisat.esa.int/beam

Tunelator processes tunnel profile data for surveying work. It provides a powerfull grid editor, 3D preview, export to Prowin, Ispol, MDT and DXF (2D and 3D views with convenient layering).

CAVOR is an engine for building apps that involve both graphic and text/numeric data. Primarily GIS is the initial focus, but consider also CAD, CASE, project management (eg PERT charts), and others. Built-in scripting, C API, also supports Tcl and Java.

JetSteam-3D is 3D GIS technology developed by Alchemedia. that allows the streaming of image,DEM,X3D,and WFS data to an applet. The javascript enabled applet allows the creation of 3D enabled WebGIS applications using typical AJAX techniques.

This project provides a library of easy to use 2D graphics editor tools and a functional and extendable stand-alone graphics editor.

MegaTrack is a Java application for hurricane and tropical storm tracking for Atlantic and eastern Pacific storms.

Photo album with geographic information. Combines GPS information with image information to create an SVG Geo-Photo album.

XML Parser, Data Processing API and Specific Implementations for SensorML.

Siafu simulates individual agents and their context, from home to city-wide scenarios. As a developer, you use the API to write your simulation for the purposes of data-set generation, test or visualization, optionally hooking it to your own application.

StateVis is a package that allows states (or groups) to create a browsable database of their Landsat holdings.

TeNeM (Telecommunications Network Model) is a PostgreSQL schema with PL/pgSQL functions and triggers intended to make with a fiber optic network management. It is also a GIS JUMP plug-in to edit and visualize the data. PostGIS is used to extend Postgre.

Use map data to plan hikes or explore new areas. Includes 3D maps of terrain rendered in real-time; trace trails across the terrain and get height verses distance profiles; tile together adjacent maps to create seamless map areas. Reads USGS SDTS files.

deegree is a Java framework for geospatial software based on the specifications of the OpenGIS Consortium and the ISO. The focus is based on the realisation of OGC specified web services. It is developed in cooperation between lat/lon and the University of Bonn.

wlandscape is a tool for collecting access point data of public wireless networks ( wlan ) in order to share it with anyone. It also supports gps and visualisation with the help of topographical maps. Visit our homepage for further informations.
