OpenMap 4.4.2 has been released!

We've released version 4.4.2 of OpenMap(tm) at

        http://openmap.bbn.com

OpenMap is open source software. New for this release:

        * Created the openmap/share/openmap.jnlp file, which
demonstrates how to set up a file to be used with Java WebStart. MacOS
X users and anyone else with Java WebStart installed can click on that
file and the openmap applet will launch and run on the desktop. You can
also use the WebStart file on our demo location at
http://dstl.bbn.com/openmap/openmap.jnlp

        * Added the com.bbn.openmap.omGraphics.labeled package, which
will be the future home of OMGraphics that have text labels attached to
them. Only the LabeledOMPoly was implemented. The LabeledOMPoly lets
you attach a text object to a specific node, or you can tell it to
center the text within the poly. The polygon parameters can be modified
with the OMDrawingTool, but the text attributes cannot. The text can
only be modified programmatically.

        * Added typing controls in the com.bbn.openmap.plugin.esri
package to scoped things a little better. Includes fixes for the
NullPointerExceptions found in the last version. The Tester.java class
was added as an example of how to use the shapefile creation
capabilities of the package.

        * Fixed a NullPointer bug in the OMToolSet.

        * Added the MapWindow, a simple JFrame widget that contains a
MapBean, MapHandler, MouseDelegator and LayerHandler. Easy to add a map
to your application.

        * Cleaned up how layers are deleted. Fixed MapBean bug where
all layers were receiving remove() calls in certain situations. Cleaned
up how the InformationDelegator was releasing listeners to the palette
triggers. The LayerSupport and other listeners were adding duplicates
to their lists in some situations, which hampered clean up, too.

        * Fixed bug in DMSLatLonPoint where the lat/lons weren't being
set properly.

        * Modified the ANT_ENV.bat file with better support for
configuring the Windows environment for Ant. Also updated the
README.win32 with instructions to set up Ant to build OpenMap.

See http://openmap.bbn.com/com/bbn/openmap/ChangeLog for a list of
changes.

OpenMap is a JavaBeans-based toolkit for building applications and
applets
needing geographic information. Using OpenMap components, you can
access
data from legacy applications, in-place, in a distributed setting. At
its
core, OpenMap is a set of Swing components that understand geographic
coordinates. These components help you show map data and help you
handle
user input events to manipulate that data.

OpenMap is a trademark of BBNT Solutions LLC (a part of Verizon).
