Installing Plugins

General Instruction

1. unzip the plugin
2. read the readme :)
3. put the .jar files in the following OpenJUMP directory: myOpenjumpFolder\lib\ext (on Debian use /usr/share/openjump/ext) whereby myOpenjumpFolder is the programm folder of OpenJUMP on your machine
4. start OpenJUMP. On the splash screen a message should appear which extensions are loaded

• if no plugin is loaded, then you may check if OpenJUMP start option -plug-in-directory C:\myOpenJUMPFolder\LIB\ext is set (for instance in your startup file)
• for our Windows Users which have downloaded the OpenJUMP 1.0.1 Windows installer: We missed to include the option, that plugins are loaded if one starts the programm by clicking on the desktop icon. To enable this, please right-click on your icon and select the icon "properties". Then look for the "target" field. Here add at the end:

-plug-in-directory "C:\Programme\Openjump\lib\ext" .. but with your path to OpenJUMP

2) Installing the PostGIS PlugIn

NOTE: the JDBC plugin must be installed in the jvm extensions directory, not the OpenJUMP directory to work properly. To do that:

• Download the JDCB Driver from here

• Move the postgresql-8.3-currentversion.jar file to your jvm ext directory. On Ubuntu 7.10, that's: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.currentversion/jre/lib/ext/

• Restart OpenJUMP

3) Installing the Coordinate Transformation PlugIn by Edgar Soldin

Edgar wrote: first of all ... the transformation path must be possible (else an exception is thrown)

1. put 'cs.conf' from 'lib/ext' in a folder which is in the classpath, or add 'lib/ext' to the classpath (to circumvent the NullPointerException in WKTSLoader)
2. add the WKT-Strings describing _both_ of your coordinate systems/projections (cs/proj) to 'cs.conf'
3. start jump and assign the cs/proj to the layer (rightside tick is off) .. hint: read mini manual in 'readme.txt' of extensions zip archive
4. activate the tick and choose the cs/proj to project to .. voila all geometries of the layer get transformed

good luck .. ede

1. I have followed as per instructions, to add *.jar files for projection. gt2jump.cts-0.1a But this resulted in an error (see box below) after I right clicked on the layer
2. Edgars Solution:

please add the folder containing cs.conf to thge classpath .. e.g. 'lib/ext'
