[Gvsig_english] Problems with EPSG.21781

[FANGER Lorenz]

Hello List

I visited a course about gvSIG in Munich and was quite impressed how far the development of gvSIG has evolved. With 1.9 it wll be defenetly intersting for our company to use gvSIG insted of a closed source Desktop-GIS.

How ever courrently the mayor problem with 1.9 (Build 1250) for us as a company based in switzerland is that the support of the swiss CRS is not given.

Defining the CRS of a view with EPSG:21781 fails and returns the Error "java.lang.Exception: In proj4 Projection Oblique Mercator not admit azimut close to 90". Also loading data with defined CRS of EPSG:21781 into a view with CRS EPSG:4326 returns a "User error"

If I remember well the 1.1 Versions once also had problems with swiss CRS. There the problem seems to be solved as the current stable versions do support swiss CRS

Does anybody knows a feasable work arround for common user? Is it planed to solve that bug? How can we supoort a solution of that problem (without experiences in programming and projections)?

I found a similar Mail in the List [1] from early this year but could not follow the mentioned "ugly hack".
