This article presents GISCoordinate.java - a class that allows you to represent a GIS coordinate in your JAVA code in decimal degrees (38.4443, e.g. 122.33433) , minute degrees (33 44 22E, 122 33 44N), or radian degrees. Also, you can use this class to manipulate the coordinate, moving it around the globe by giving it distances in feet and direction of travel. You can then extract the new coordinate that is calculated after the travel.
