Latest World Wind Java Release
I downloaded and ran the latest released version of the WWJ SDK available for download at the World Wind Java site – 20070817. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the 2D location map and the distance meter added to the window by default. Cool less that I have to do. I was thinking of doing a tutorial on how to add those things.
Also, I should add that if you want to find even later releases and release announcements head over to the forum http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=43. This will have the latest releases for you to try out. (more…)

For security reasons I only left the SSH and Apache ports open when I originally setup the web server. (more…)
Adding Polylines in World Wind Java SDK
In this article we will look at how polylines can be added to World Wind Java SDK. Polylines are used to represent routes or tracks on your map. A polyline is made up of a list of point coordinates and a line is drawn between each point to create the full polyline. There are actually two different types of Polylines in WWJ. We will take a look at both of them. Note: this tutorial is just to get you pointed in the right direction. There are probably much more efficient ways of handling this. This is just a starting place. (more…)
