Everything in ucar.unidata.util was moved into the IDV. the geoloc stuff was moved into netcdf. On another unrelated note... Has anyone looked into using the Java map projection lib: http://www.jhlabs.com/java/maps/proj/ I use it for my lidar work and it seems pretty rich. It even has the Ginzburg8 projection (Alan did mapping before he was a poet). Its a pure Java port of the proj4 library. -Jeff
i often use this code when adding a new projection. the job is to turn it into a ProjectionImpl class.
problem is that its incomplete, and sometimes buggy. so needs testing and careful vetting, sometimes against the original C code.
