JGSShell is a Java based spatial data viewer and layer datastore manager. It consist of 4 parts, a viewer, a spatial-layer manager, a scripting API (groovy and Java) and a URL concept.
JGISShell was created 10 years ago as a private education and evaluation project to explore spatial data and technologies. Now it riched a state that it could be usefull for other. Maybe to learn, explore spatial data or manage spatial data.

The viewer supports the following formats:
WFS, Shapefiles, GeoJSON, PostGIS, SpatiaLite, GeoPackage, H2 Database. Oracle Locator/Spatial, MSSQL/SQLServer, SAP Hana, ESRI MDB based Geodatabases, ESRI Arc GIS Rest Feature Services and a own GML equal XML format.
WMS, WMTS, PostGIS Raster, Worldfiles, mbtiles, OSM, MAPBOX Tile Layers, GeoPackage, ESRI Arc GIS Rest Map and Image Services
ESRI ASCII Grid, Saga Grid and XYZ Grid files
The manager is like a spatial data file system manager for exploring and managing geospatial data.
The scripting API can be used to extend the Viewer and the Manager or to process geospatial data.

);The URL based schema is designed to access different kinds of datastores or spatial layers.
