# openjump(1)

A Java GIS Program

## NAME

openjump - A Java GIS Program

## SYNOPSIS

**openjump** *\<no\_options\>*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **openjump** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**openjump** is a GIS program that allows to work with spatial datasets. It supports reading/writing of shapefiles and GML and provides processing operations for spatial data analysis.

## OPTIONS

This program does not have any option. Just start it!

## ENVIRONMENT

- **DEBUG**

  If this environment variable is set, openjump gives more information on how it finds its different elements.

- **JAVACMD**

  Default value for the java virtual machine (the **java** command).

- **JAVA\_BINDIR**

  If $**JAVACMD** is not set, the java virtual machine is searched under $**JAVA\_BINDIR***/java*.

- **JAVA\_HOME**

  If $**JAVACMD** and $**JAVA\_BINDIR** are not set, the java virtual machine is searched under $**JAVA\_HOME***/bin/java*.

- **PATH**

  If all $**JAVA**... environment variables fail, the java virtual machine command (**java**) is searched in the $**PATH** (with **which**).

## FILES

- */usr/bin/java*

  If all searches through environment variables fail, the java virtual machine is expected to be */usr/bin/java*; if not, **jump** exits with an error.
