Consider switching to Proj.4 via JNI for projection #207

Closed mattwigway closed 8 years ago

mattwigway commented 8 years ago

We've had a number of issues with projections not being supported by GeoTools (e.g. #203). Proj.4 is generally considered the reference projection software, and it's available in Java through JNI: http://www.geoapi.org/geoapi-proj4/ . We should consider switching for our reprojection needs.

Proj4 in Java appears to be poorly supported; I can't figure out how to read from WKT.
