Is this project still being maintained? #3

I've used proj4js in the past but now I need the Java equivalent. Is this project still being maintained, and would you recommend it's use in production?

That seems to be a complicated question.

So having looked into this a little, it appears GeoTrellis amalgamated it into their project:

https://github.com/locationtech/geotrellis/tree/master/proj4/src/main/java/org/osgeo/proj4j

But they've decided a separate version would be better: https://www.locationtech.org/proposals/proj4j

Which would be this one which uses SBT (!): https://github.com/dwins/proj4j

but active development seems to be going on only on the geotrellis version.

Hmmm.

I tried to set up a fork without SBT and with a thread safe BasicCoordinateTransformation.

Currently it looks to me like the only change in their repository is replacing the original copyright disclaimer with their own.

Like here:

vs. here:

Together with mixing in Scala for tests that looks rather scary to me ;-)
