[Gvsig_english] comparison between gvSIG and another java-based GIS: openjump. Possible?

[Simone Casciaroli]

Hi Wolfgang,
Unfortunately I have no more details about this comparison.
I tested the two products after the release of gvSig 1.0 and I used
OpenJump 1.0.1 for the comparison.
Personally I think that OpenJump is not a real "competitor",
uDig+JGrass will be a strong "competitor" in the future; I wrote
competitor between quotation marks because I don't like to think about
competition between OpenSource project.
Regards,

Simone
