The File Geodatabase Explorer is a Swing based application for viewing File Based Geodatabases. It uses a thin JNI based Java wrapper around the C++ based API. This Java wrapper only exposes the necessary functionality required for viewing geodatabases. This includes opening, closing of geodatabases and datasets. Obtaining rows from tables and reading their values as string a representation.
Requirements:
It is necessary to have a 32 bit Java Runtime on Windows. The underlying native libraries (DLLs) must be placed in a location where the Java Runtime can load them by using System.loadLibrary.
Right now, it is planned to wrap the whole C++ based File Geodatabase API. If this milestone is reached the thin Java wrapper will be replaced by this Java Core API.
