GDAL/OGR In Java

The GDAL project has SWIG generated Java bindings for GDAL and OGR. Generally speaking the classes and methods mostly match those of the GDAL and OGR C++ classes, but there is currently no Java specific documentation beyond this wiki topic.

Currently there is no Java bindings maintainer, and so these bindings should be considered unsupported. For the impending 1.5.0 release they are believed to be broken.
