[GIS] How to use OpenStreetMap in Java

apijavaopenstreetmap

I have a requirement of GIS to be implemented using Java. I have read the developer guide for OpenStreetMap but there is insufficient information for its set-up technically.

I am completely new to GIS. Any help regarding technical set-up of OpenStreetMap as well as information about using them will be very much appreciated.

There are a lot of useful information for developers in the OpenStreetMap wiki. In detail, there's the Using OpenStreetMap for Development table which contains links to other specific wiki pages about how to embed OSM maps, deploy a web application using OSM (e.g. using OpenLayers), OSM services, etc. There are also several desktop and online projects under the Main Projects paragraph from which you could start.

If you don't have to implement an application from scratch, give gvSIG a try:

[GIS] use to read MapInfo files in Java

I think you could use the experimental OGR plugin to do this in GeoTools.

Try adding

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
  <artifactId>gt-ogr</artifactId>
  <version>${geotools.version}</version>
</dependency>

to your pom.xml - I've not tried but I expect it will pull down all the stuff you need.

[GIS] Retrieving info from GRIB2 file with JAVA

I made same experiences when looking for Java libraries, finding that there are not many, and most of them difficult to use.

As an alternative. you could try the GRIB2Tools library at https://github.com/philippphb/GRIB2Tools, maybe it will work for you. It is rather basic but easy to use and can be extended easily.
