[Gvsig_english] Updating EPSG database

[Francisco José Peñarrubia]

Hi Ben.

I don't know too much about this issue, but maybe I can give some tips.
I think EPSG database is created by Geotools. You can have a look to 
this class:

org.geotools.referencing.factory.epsg.DefaultFactory

Anyway, there is some code inside extJCRS in order to modify this 
database with some projections. (Initialize method).
You can search also in method getDataAndUpdate from 
extJCRS\src\org\gvsig\crs\gui\panels\wizard\MainPanel.java.
And about where is the database, I found some info in libJCRS, look to 
this class:

libJCRS\src\es\idr\teledeteccion\connection\EpsgConnection.java

Hope it helps....

Cheers.
