Projects

In addition to projects and training for clients Just has initiated and participates in a number of Open Source projects, sometimes as part of research or interest, other times out of a need to develop a tool. Below is an overview of the main projects. Each project has its own project page. The most recent projects start from the top.

Free and Open Source for INSPIRE

See inspire-foss.org.

Goal

Develop components for transformation and web services (WMS, WFS, CSW) that comply with the pan-European INSPIRE directive using Free and Open Source for Geospatial (FOSS4G). This project is hosted at code.google.com/p/inspire-foss.

Comment

This project was started as part of work on INSPIRE for the Dutch Land Registry (Kadaster), further propagated with deegree-developers from lat/lon GmbH.

Heron Mapping Client

See heron-mc.org.

Goal

Develop components/widgets for building advanced geo web-clients using the GeoExt framework. This project is hosted at code.google.com/p/geoext-viewer.

Comment

This project was initally co-developed with Geodan, in particular to build a viewer within the ESDIN best practices for INSPIRE.

GeoSkating

See www.geoskating.com and the Google Group (Dutch)

Goal

Generate interactive, multimedial skate-maps through GPS and mobile phones. Upcoming is an Android application.

Comment

One of my dearest projects. Involves a whole range of Java-technologies (J2ME, J2EE). See also a Dutch newspaper (Volkskrant) article

GeoTracing

See www.geotracing.com.

Goal

Create a generic platform for remote tracklogging and real-time tracing through GPS with mobile phones. See also GeoTracing example applications: www.geoskating.com, www.geosailing.com and a geodrawing game.

Pushlets

See www.pushlets.com.

Goal

A HTTP-based public/subscribe framework. Event push to browser clients without using client-side Java. Pushlets are told to be the first (1999) implementation for the principles of COMET (see ajaxian.com).

Comment

This project seems to attract many developers since a publication in JavaWorld March, 2000.

KeyWorx

See the KeyWorx homepage. This project ran until 2007.

Goal

Develop a multi-user/multi-service/multi-channel application platform.

Comment

KeyWorx was developed at Waag Society in Amsterdam.

XBook

See www.justobjects.org/xbook.

Goal

Develop a toolset to generate HTML documentation from XML as a lightweight alternative to DocBook.

Comment

This site has been written and generated using XBook...

CowCatcher

See www.justobjects.org/cowcatcher and SourceForge

Goals

Develop a toolset to generate HTML course materials from XML and provide content for Java training materials as a reusable repository of modules and lessons.

Comment

This project has helped us to quickly assemble materials and provide training to our clients. There is a lot of free stuff like complete online Java courses, so check it out.
