[Kstars-devel] Ocultations for K-stars

[Mike Rosseel]

Hi Brian,


Kstars is written in C++ so a Java plugin would be non-trivial to
write. Maybe with the new QT java bindings? Still, I would suggest
looking into writing it in C++. The languages are quite similar, of
course you have to be more careful with memory management and the
whole pointer concept.

Since I'm not a kstars guru other people will have to answer your
algorithmical questions.

regards,
Mike
