RE: Information on OpenMap

BBN Technologies' 
      OpenMap TM package is an Open Source JavaBeans 
      TM based programmer's toolkit. Using OpenMap, you can 
      quickly build applications and applets that access data from legacy 
      databases and applications. OpenMap provides the means to allow users to 
      see and manipulate geospatial information. OpenMap is under constant 
      development - the latest version is OpenMap 4.5.4, released 
      November 8, 2002. There is now a OpenMap 4.6 beta version 
      available via cvs (instructions on the download page). These versions are 
      JDK 1.2 compatible; OpenMap 3.7 was our last JDK 1.1-compatible release. 
      

  

     You can download a copy for free, 
      use it, and make changes to it. Be sure to read the license before you do. So 
      how do we make money? Our business model is to provide consulting, 
      integration, and development services on a time and materials basis. Feel 
      free to contact us at  
      if you'd like to learn more! 

      
Since OpenMap is open source, we welcome additions and changes from the 
      user community. We've incorporated a number of contributions, with plenty of submissions 
      available to the user community separate from the official distribution.
