WWJ-CE is community supported fork of the ubiquitous [WorldWind Java SDK](https://github.com/NASAWorldWind/WorldWindJava)
from NASA.

3D virtual globe API for desktop Java, developed by NASA. Provides a geographic context with high-resolution terrain, for visualizing geographic or geo-located information in 3D and 2D. Developers can customize the globe's terrain and imagery. Provides a collection of shapes for displaying and interacting with geographic data and representing a range of geometric objects.
