Introduction
Welcome to the website for the Java Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (JGrass) Application. If you are reding this it is probably because you are exploring and checking out what other content is available.
We currently use this space as a repository for JGrass documentation and articles, the development of online help, developer help, and the occasional batch of open source gis documentation.
JGrass is a free, multi platform, open source GIS based on the GIS framework of uDig (that is why the intro looks so similar to that of uDig).
JGrass exploits were possible in its engine the power of GRASS.
Academic partnerships
JGrass and the Department of Environmental and Civil Engineering of the University of Trento and its CUDAM
At the moment JGrass (or better its tools) is dedicatated mostly to hydrological and geomophological analyses. This is due to the fact that the main sponsors of the project are the CUDAM and Hydrologis. The involved University department and the tutorship of Riccardo Rigon makes JGrass a very complete piece of software to deal with environmental issues in the field of Hydrology and Morphology.
BeeGIS and the Department of Geology and Earth Sciences of the University of Urbino
The JGrass wiki space also hosts the BeeGIS project, which is a set of plugins dedicated to digital field mapping.
The BeeGIS effort is coordinated together with the University of Urbino "Carlo Bo", under the tutorship of Mauro De Donatis.

Support
At the moment free support is supplied through the mailinglists. You can subscribe to them following the links below:
Since JGrass and uDig are stricktly related, developers should ask questions to the udig developer's list
The Italian users list, jgrass-utenti, has been disabled, the archives can be found here.
There are also several weblogs in which we are collecting documentation to use and develop JGrass:
WE ARE IN PREALPHA STATE SO PLEASE FEEL VERY FREE TO REPORT EVERY BUG AT OUR BUGTRACKER. If possible add JGrass's log. To understand how to get the log please read the last part of this description.
