Overview

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 gives a good overview over the functionality of the component.

This source code used in this project is based on:

• SwingX-ws-2009_06_14.jar http://java.net/projects/swingx
• SwingX 1.6.3 (released Feb 2012) http://java.net/projects/swingx-ws

What we have done so far ..

• Extract the JXMapViewer part from the full package
• Upgrade to Java 6
• Fixed javadoc
• Replaced system.out with apache.commons.logging
• Removed broken TileProviders
• Remove dependencies to SwingX (and its indirect dependencies)

What we plan to do ..

• Add tile caching
• Fix bugs that were posted on http://java.net/jira/browse/SWINGX_WS
• Extract user interaction from the viewer
• Find out what the "Java One" hack is and if it can be removed
• Make CompoundPainter use List instead of Array
• Refactor painters
