Apache SIS is a Java language library for developing geospatial applications. The library is an implementation of OGC GeoAPI 3.0.2 interfaces and can be used for desktop or server applications. SIS provides data structures along with methods derived from the following international standards:
See the https://sis.apache.org/ web site for more information and a more accurate list of standards.
SIS is a project of the Apache Software Foundation. Apache SIS, SIS, Apache, the Apache feather logo, and the Apache SIS project logo are trademarks of The Apache Software Foundation.
Running the library part of Apache SIS requires Java 11 or higher. Running the JavaFX application part requires Java 16 or higher. Building SIS requires Java 18 or higher together with Gradle 8 build system. To build SIS, use the following command in this directory:
gradle assemble
The JAR files will be located in the following directories, together with their dependencies:
endorsed/build/libs/ (core library)optional/build/libs/ (requires JavaFX)incubator/build/libs/ (not yet released)If JAR files seem missing, try gradle jar. For publishing to the local ~/.m2 repository (for example, for use with Maven projects):
gradle publishToMavenLocal
If the optional modules prerequisites are met, a ZIP file containing a subset of Apache SIS modules and dependencies is automatically built in the optional/build/bundle/ sub-directory. That ZIP file can be unzipped in any directory and the application is launched by running the ./bin/sisfx script.
Information for running a command-line tool or an optional JavaFX application can be found on the web site. Java code examples for some common tasks are given in the How to… pages. Complete API can be browsed in online Javadoc.
