SpatialX, is ObjectFXs Java Developer toolkit. It is built entirely in Java, utilizing all the object-oriented capabilities of the Java Language. We have developed our software to display your data in highly intuitive maps, floorplans and diagrams. Available as Java beans and Components, the SpatialX toolkit comes with everything a developer needs including reference , sample applets and applications with full code. Also included is our ObjectMapper utility which enables you to create and manage spatial data with your existing databases. See www.objectfx.com

JMAPPER  SDK is the new Java AM/FM/GIS Libraries developed by JMAPPER Inc. JMAPPER SDK allows you to handle large raster anD vector maps in an easy and effective way. It handles multiple layers and multiple concurrent users. It does have components to import/export from popular GIS/CAD formats such as AutoCad or ARC/INFO. If you need a Java GIS Library, JMAPPER SDK it's the way to go. JMAPPER, Your Maps Anywhere ... For further information, please contact : JMAPPER Fax (613) 591-9594 CLESSIDRA@OTTAWA.COM

VisAD uses the features of Java 2, including Java3D and Java2D for visualization, Java RMI for distributed objects, and JNI for links to legacy algorithms (VisAD's analysis and visualization code is pure Java, but it does support JNI connections to users' legacy code in other languages). VisAD is freely available from: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html including source code, documentation and numerous application examples from Earth science, astronomy and other disciplines. Many of these applications allow users at different workstations to collaborate as if sitting in front of the same workstation. The free distribution includes the VisAD Spread Sheet which provides access to many of VisAD's features without the need to write any applications code. It can access data in netCDF, FITS, HDF-EOS, McIDAS, Vis5D, GIF and JPEG files. It can create interactive displays of these data using either Java3D or Java2D, and supports simple computatons combining multiple files. If you have questions you can get help from the VisAD mailing list.
