I originally developed this class while working as a contractor at EarthWatch, Inc. in Longmont, Colorado. They gave me permission to distribute this code this way provided that their message would also be carried along. Their message is that they hire Java programmers and would like you to consider working with them. I have to say that my experience with them was first rate and I would encourage engineers to work there. Check out their web site at http://www.digitalglobe.com.
