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 provided a good overview over the functionality of the component, which is now gone from java.net but available on archive.org. Please have a look at the examples section in addition.

The content of this project are also available at Maven Central and can be referenced in your pom.xml with the following coordinates:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jxmapviewer</groupId>
    <artifactId>jxmapviewer2</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
</dependency>

Examples

You can find some examples as part of this source code repository. You can open them as a separate project in your IDE and run them there. Alternatively, they can be run from the command line after creating a Maven package from them.

$ mvn clean package
$ java -cp target/jxmapviewer2-examples-2.5.jar sample1_basics.Sample1

History

This source code used in this project is based on:

• SwingX-ws-2009_06_14.jar formerly hosted at java.net/projects/swingx
• SwingX 1.6.3 (released Feb 2012) formerly hosted at java.net/projects/swingx-ws

This is what we have done so far ...

• Extract the JXMapViewer part from the full package
• Upgrade to Java 6 (version 2.1)
• Upgrade to Java 7 (version 2.5)
• Fixed javadoc
• Replaced system.out.println() with apache.commons.logging
• Removed broken TileProviders
• Remove dependencies to SwingX (and its indirect dependencies)
• Fixed tile caching so that only tiles are cached, not everything
• Extract user interaction from the viewer
• Make CompoundPainter use Lists instead of Arrays
• Find out what the "Java One" hack is and replace it with proper implementation
• Improved zooming in - images of coarser resolution are used until new images are loaded
• Fixed thread leak when setting new TileFactory
• Supports OSGi bundles (contains MANIFEST.MF)
• Supports Maven dependency management
• Fixed use of deprecated code
• Fix bugs that were posted on java.net/jira/browse/SWINGX_WS
