Split JtsSpatialContext etc. to separate module and 'jar'.

3

I was bemoaning the inconvenience in Solr that the JTS jar file has to be placed in WEB-INF/lib instead of being placeable in more convenient places, like the 'lib' of...

Add support for Geo3D

3

The "Geo3D" library (AKA spatial3d module in Lucene) has surface-of-sphere (and WGS84 ellipsoid) shape implementations. It would be awesome to add a Spatial4j SpatialContext, ShapeFactory, and ShapeBuilders. Perhaps DistanceCalculator too....

I got this failure: ``` Tests run: 100, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.437 sec

ShapeReader.read(String)

2

I think ShapeReader.read(String) should exist, and furthermore should not throw IOException. Contrast this to the existing read(Object) defined now which does throw IOException and every implementation converts it to a...

WithinDistanceCalculator

1

For most distance calculation methods, there is redundant math being performed when the formula is being used to check if a point is within a circle, many times over. Addressing...

BufferedLineString should support adjacent pairs of points that are equal. Internally, this means BufferedLine needs to support point A & B being the same. JTS supports this, BTW.

Implement a geodetic buffered LineString

3

We've already got a BufferedLineString but it isn't geodetic. A geodetic version could be implemented structurally similarly: It could be an aggregate of buffered lines. And each buffered line is...

Geodetic bounding circle algorithm

2

Given a set of points on the surface of a sphere, what is the centroid and smallest radius that encompasses them? Answering this is useful for getting a circle approximation...

Improve BufferedLine geodesic skew compensation

3

BufferedLineString expands each of it's BufferedLine's buffer by a fixed amount depending on how close to a pole it is (see the "expandBufForLongitudeSkew" option). But this implementation is poor since...

The buffer aspect of InfbufLine is barely used internally; it should be removed and have the caller deal with it assuming they even want it buffered. Should it be called...
