I had a quick look what this would take. I must say I do know a bit on java but not enough to go this route to undertake this.

From my observations, it does not seems to hard to accomplish this (always easy to say while standing a side, I know):

Using the ogrinfo.java example from the GDAL/OGR: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trun … rinfo.java


The schema can be accessed using bits of the the code inside the piece marked as:

.....

/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*      Report various overall information.                             */
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.....

if( poLayer.GetFIDColumn().length() > 0 )
358                    System.out.println( "FID Column = " + poLayer.GetFIDColumn() );
359          
360                if( poLayer.GetGeometryColumn().length() > 0 )
361                    System.out.println( "Geometry Column = " +  poLayer.GetGeometryColumn() );
362      
363                for( int iAttr = 0; iAttr < poDefn.GetFieldCount(); iAttr++ )
364                {
365                    FieldDefn  poField = poDefn.GetFieldDefn( iAttr );
366                  
367                    System.out.println( poField.GetNameRef() + ": " + poField.GetFieldTypeName( poField.GetFieldType() ) + " (" + poField.GetWidth() + "." + poField.GetPrecision() + ")");
368                }


......


and apply this into: org/talend/sdi/repository/ui/actions/metadata/ImportGeoSchemaWizard.java

in the section:
......

/**
     * Load feature type model for SHP, MIF, GPX Datastore.
     *
     */

.......


Also, the file types probably need to be checked here also:

/org/talend/sdi/repository/ui/actions/metadata/CreateGeoMetadata.java
