I just heard from the JavaPosse podcast that the GRASS Geographic Information System (GIS) is back with a new Java/Swing based front-end called JGRASS. The screenshots look pretty nice. Just, so you don't have to endure the absolutely horiffic ad-packed Sys-Con web site, which is linked to in the JavaPosse #40 show notes, here are some better links JGRASS information:

• The JGRASS documentation page at HydroloGIS.com
• Abstract of a JGRASS talk by John Preston and others

Why do I care? GRASS was my life for most of my early career and I worked with John Prestion in Kingston, Jamaica for over a year. I mentioned GRASS recently  in the eWeek interview and I've mentioned it here on the blog a couple of times before: 1993, Hey, I wrote that and That was fun.
