CatMDEdit is a metadata editor tool for describing resources, mainly geographic information. Developed by IAAA (University of Zaragoza) and GeoSpatiumLab S.L., sponsored by IGN Spain. Technical details: Java, XML, multiplatform, multilingual.

The JTS Topology Suite is an API for modelling and manipulating 2-dimensional linear geometry. It provides numerous geometric predicates and functions. JTS conforms to the Simple Features Specification for SQL published by the Open GIS Consortium.

The development community in building GIS solutions is sustaining an enormous level of effort. The GeoAPI project aims to reduce duplication and increase interoperability by providing neutral, interface-only APIs derived from OGC/ISO Standards.

An easy-to-use tool, to foster a model driven architecture.

GeOxygene aims at providing an open framework which implements OGC/ISO specifications for the development and deployment of geographic (GIS) applications. It is a open source contribution of the COGIT lab. at the IGN (the French National Mapping Agency).

An attempt to design minimum cost broadband networks with the use of a modified version of the Particle Swarm Optimization method. A GIS subsystem is used for the visualization of data and results.

Tool for testing Web Map Services. It allows to run general random tests of WMS and test based on user-like behaviour.

BizGEO is an open source platform developed to provide a simple interface for geographical data collection and data storage. BizGEO is integrated with a standard open source map server (GeoServer) to form an integrated GIS data collection suite. BizGEO is made up of three main components; BizGEOServer which is a facility for managing data by organising them in projects; BizGEOApp, a mobile app which is being used by the field users to collect data through set of defined forms, and GeoServer which manages and publishes the data using open standards.

This SourceForge.net project serves as repository and distribution point for Carbon Five Open Source software and documentation.

GPSylon is a Java moving map application that is able to display maps like in an atlas and show your position by the use of a gps device. It may track your path, load overlays (e.g. shape files), download maps from expedia servers. - The source code was moved to github!

NOTE: this project has been renamed as GeoGig. Use this URL to get to the GeoGig downloads: https://sourceforge.net/p/geogig Welcome to the GeoGit project, exploring the use of distributed management of spatial data. GeoGit draws inspiration from Git, but adapts its core concepts to handle versioning of geospatial data. Users are able to import raw geospatial data (currently from Shapefiles, PostGIS or SpatiaLite) in to a repository where every change to the data is tracked. These changes can be viewed in a history, reverted to older versions, branched in to sandboxed areas, merged back in, and pushed to remote repositories.

Geoclipse is a collection of Eclipse plugins, that allow you to add mapping capabilities to your Eclipse Rich Client applications. Current development happens on github! http://michaelkanis.github.com/geoclipse

JOSAST ( Java Open Source Amateur Satellite Toolkit) is a set of java source code used for amateur satellite, hamradio and also astronomia activities ... Reusable package and complete software should be available.

KalypsoBASE is a Desktop-GIS built on Eclipse. It's focus lies on modelling gis data using GML Application-Schemata. Features contain generic dialogs based on GML, maps based on OGC's SLD, and other tools like a charting framework or API for timeseries

KartoMNT is a free software of height model digitalization. This software allows you to create your own Digital Height Models (DHM) with a simple map. Then you'll be able to visualize DHMs with the KartoMNT 3D viewer.

LGML is a GML parser under the LGPL license. The aim is to parse a GML document or fragment in order to get a WKT output. 2D and 3D inputs are both handled, but it is not permitted to have mixed geometries. The caller can choose if the input coordinates are parsed as X, Y, Z (if present) order, or Y, X, Z (if present) order. The willing of the project is to be a starting point useful for developers that need to parse GML objects in order to use them, for example, in the context of OGC catalogue projects. The library is compiled using Java 1.5 or 1.6. For now, supported inputs are: LineString, MultiLineString, MultiPoint, MultiPolygon, Point, Polygon, MultiSurface (in an experimental way: the only child object handled is Polygon). At the following URL: http://95.110.227.201:8080/lgml is exposed a minimal web interface in order to test it.

OSIOSS (Open Source Integrated Observing System Software) is a collection of code which can be used for geospatial observing systems merging data collection, management and products solutions with ocean observing systems (OOS) as an initial focus.

A very simple command line tool to convert OSM files to Shapefiles. Written in Java. Think of it as a self-study project.
