The Balloon Project

The Balloon project blog is a place to talk about my personal virtual globe project so called "Balloon Project". Initially it was born using my own developed 3D API allowing to load, render and animate GIS information, georeference images, import lat/lon shapefiles and load layers from any WMS server. The future project will be based (I hope it) in WWJ. WWJ is still in an early alpha stage, because it, I try to contribute with some features I learn or implement working in my own 3D API.

A pool of thread

It is not a great and visually spectacular feature, but I think it is very important for performance questions.
I have added a thread pool to manage the execution of threads.

When working with WMS layers, every data request works in a new thread. This can derive (if too many request are made) on a great number of threads working at the same time and with its own resource consumption.
A thread's pool solves this situations limiting the number of threads that can be working in a given moment, and avoiding the massive consumption of resources.

Very nice but what about an executable version, so we can try it :P

Good job.

Waiting for it.

I am working hard to get ready an executable version. From now, all my job are in pre-alpha version stage.
Also, I am thinking on the type of license I must apply to the application and I'm not sure which one to use.
