OpenMap
OpenMap is used for easy presentation of geospatial information, and as a JavaBeans component framework.
How to make components and layers for geospatial presentation are described in the design part.
ee-INS uses OpenMap 5 beta, and not the latest stable version 4.6.5. The beta version was considered close to release and contained some new functionality considered important for the project. The differences between making code using 4.6.4 and 5 are very small, so only small corrections are needed to port code.
Understanding OpenMap is essential for being able to extend ee-INS. Here are some steps that are highly recommended to get familiarized with OpenMap.
The most important documentation for OpenMap is the Developer's Guide. The guide provides essential insight and may be re-visted many times while gaining knowledge on OpenMap.
Additionally the OpenMap web page provides some valuable links:
Source code can be obtained from the OpenMap 5 beta Subversion repository at
http://openmap.bbn.com/svn/openmap/trunk
On Windows a Subversion client can be used for fetching. E.g. TortoiseSVN.
It is recommended to look at the examples and browse the source code for a insight behind the scenes.
Javadoc provides overview. It can be created with ant target.
ant docs
documentation will be indexed in
doc/api/index.html
The online Javadoc for 4.6.5 http://openmap.bbn.com/doc/api/ can also be used but may differ slightly from the beta 5 version.
