And to all a good night!

Well, it is now 3.5 hours till Christmas and the kids are bouncing off the walls and wanting to wake us up at 5am.. not if I give them both a dose of NyQuil though

The plug in integrates The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) data for Africa in WorldWind.  In WorldWind, you can view their datasets, but most importantly, click on points and it brings up graphs of variables such as rainfall.

The IRI was founded on the belief that scientific breakthroughs in our understanding of climate can help developing countries defeat persistent and often devastating problems.  Climate has an impact on health, water, agriculture and most other vital sectors, giving us the opportunity to help societies confront a whole range of hardships-from malaria epidemics to food shortages.

You can download the plug-in from here.  Below shows the plug-in in use.  Bull_UK also has more details.

After installing and activating the plug-in, you launch it from the toolbar menu.

Once loaded, you can select the dataset to view, the time period, view the map legend and data description and load the selected map.

Patrick Murris has now brought the World Wind Mars and Moon layers into WWJava.  You can now display all the same layers you can see in the WW.Net version.

WWJava Moon

WWJava Mars

Came across this site today, it is in beta so you can expect a bug when using it.. but I was able to track my phone and see where I was at.. was off by a little though.

Has to be one of the fastest releases to date.. WWJava 0.4.1 has been released and can be downloaded here.

WWJ changes from 0.4.0 to 0.4.1

• Fixed NetworkStatus bug causing freeze for some
• Added an off-line attribute to the WorldWind class to elect not to use the network
• Added a show-network-status attribute to StatusBar
