[GIS] use to read MapInfo files in Java

javamapinfomiftab

I want to read MapInfo files using Java.
Before I used geotools for this but now I have problems with the GDAL library in Win7x64. Can i find geotools or gdal only for Java? To it not usede gdal's dlls only Java classes.
I found the MITAB library but its only for C++.
Does anyone know something that can help me?

Another question: i read geotools quickstart and dont se any words about Gdal. But when i try use geotools i get error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/gdal/ogr/ogr
at org.geotools.data.ogr.OGRDataStore.<clinit>(OGRDataStore.java:169)

When i add gdal.jre in build path all works fine.
Whats wrong?

Best Answer

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.
