Pre-requisites Java Eclipse Ant (should) Maven (should) gvSIG (this is recursive :)) The main advantage of gvSIG 2.0 is that you can create a new plugin without knowing how does gvSIG work or having to compile it. We already have a gvSIG installation that deploys the binaries to the workspace. But we don’t have to change the source code. Unless, of course, something doesn’t work (bugs) or we have to add some new functionality to the core. Better if you don’t touch it, ask the developers and they will take care. ...

I am proud to share with you the steps to compile gvSIG 2.0, which I discovered thanks to some fellows developers, whom I met thanks to the latests Jornadas GvSIG. Although you can find a full guide on the official documentation, this simple steps will let you customize and compile your own gvSIG2.0 version without much trouble. First, you have to install some basic dependencies: #apt-get install maven2 subversion Next, we create a folder in which we can work: ...

Sometimes you don’t know where to start when you enter the world of GIS programming. Too many libraries, IDEs, but the truth is, everyone assumes you already have a base and everything become chaos. Something is easy as how to develop a map on Java has scarce documentation. If you have absolutely no idea of GIS, I would recommend you start by the Free book of Free GIS by Victor Olaya. ...
