uDig is an open-source desktop GIS application and development framework for viewing and editing spatial data, such as shapefiles. It supports OpenGIS standards, such as Web Map Server (WMS) and Web Feature Server (WFS), and provides a Java platform for building spatial applications from open-source components.
