NASA WorldWind Java ("WWJ") SDK

The project requires the use of NASA's WorldWind Java  library for Geographical Information System ("GIS") access.   WWJ must be installed as per the instructions above.    This extremely powerful library enables Google Earth-like visualizations of Earth as well as a myriad of other data overlays and customizable display and other features.   Please follow the above link for more information.

map Package

A utility and example package to help students get started with WWJ is provided in the above svn:externals definitions.   This package provides some classes that will enable one to quickly and easily get a map to display in one's application along with some simple but useful annotation capabilities.   Please follow the link above for more information and documenation.

 

NASA WorldWind Demo

A simple demo of WorldWind Java (WWJ) SDK and the Comp310-provided simplifying libraries is available by checking out the following project:   https://svn.rice.edu/r/comp310-svn/course/FinalProject/XXX/WWJ_Demo

Note that the above project is set to use 64-bit libraries, so if you are using a 32-bit system or a 64-bit Linux system, you will need to switch the libraries to their appropriate values.   See the Java Resources page on adding libraries.
