ECW Read Support
An enhanced ECW support based on ERDAS ECW/JP2 SDK version 3.3 is available since OpenJUMP 1.4.3. It makes use of native libraries that were originally compiled by the gvsig GIS software team and shipped with their distribution. Thanks!!! One advantage of the new SDK is that it gives also access to JPEG2000 format. It is included by default into the PLUS edition of OpenJUMP. You can however add them manually to OpenJUMP CORE if you want to.
Requirements
As binary library code is used the support is platform specific. Currently supported are
- Windows (XP,Vista,7) running a (32bit/x86) Java Runtime Environment
- Linux running a (32bit/x86) Java Runtime Environment
Download
Download it here and follow the instruction of the included readme.txt file
