JTS consists of several Java modules. Each one corresponds to a separate JAR file.
The core modules are:
jts-core
- The JTS core: geometry model, operations, algorithms, and spatial data structuresjts-io-common
- I/O classes for open spatial formats
The following modules depend on proprietary libraries, and are not built by default:
jts-io-ora
- Oracle reader and writerjts-io-sde
- SDE reader and writer
The following modules are applications and data for testing and working with JTS
jts-tests
- The JTS XML test suite and the Test Runner applicationjts-app
-The TestBuilder GUI, for working with JTS geometry interactively
To include JTS in a Maven project, add a dependency block like the following:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.locationtech.jts</groupId>
<artifactId>jts-core</artifactId>
<version>${jts.version}</version>
</dependency>
JTS snapshot artifacts are published to the LocationTech Maven repository. To include JTS in a project, add the following repositories to the pom.
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>locationtech-releases</id>
<url>https://repo.locationtech.org/content/groups/releases</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>jts-snapshots</id>
<url>https://repo.locationtech.org/content/repositories/jts-snapshots</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
Older versions of JTS are available on Maven Central.

JTS uses #ModuleNameInManifest to export a module name for each of the JARs published for use as a library. In this way, you can depend on the various JTS modules in your module-info.java
in the following way:
// module-info.java for project org.foo.baz
module org.foo.baz {
requires org.locationtech.jts; // jts-core
requires org.locationtech.jts.io; // jts-io-common
requires org.locationtech.jts.io.oracle; // jts-io-ora
requires org.locationtech.jts.io.sde; // jts-io-sde
}
JTS includes some application tools.
The TestBuilder is a GUI application which allows creating and visualizing geometry, and executing JTS functions.

Run from project root:
java -jar modules/app/target/JTSTestBuilder.jar
-
Run with Metal L&F (useful for Mac)
java -Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel -jar modules/app/target/JTSTestBuilder.jar
