Java library that converts latitude/longitude to MGRS coordinates and vice versa?

Question

I'm wondering what kind of libraries exist (licensed or not) where I may find the methods to convert between latitude/longitude coordinates and military grid reference system (mgrs) coordinates. I'm not explicitly looking for a lat/long to UTM converter, it has to be mgrs. I've done some searching and googling and from what I've found, lat/long to UTM frequently shows up, but it seems like nobody has got the library for converting lat/long to MGRS and vice versa.

Does anyone know of any libraries or places where I can find libraries that will do such a thing?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I know this is an old post, but I'll add some more for posterity. JCoords has an MGRS point conversion, but it requires a small licensing fee. Another source is NASA's WorldWind project (similar to Google Earth), which converted the old GeoTrans API created by NGA. This is the implementation of the MGRS conversion: MGRSCoordConverter.java

Answer 2

I've found a library called OpenMap in the library com.bbn.openmap.proj.coords they have a class called mgrs point. Props to a few questions on stackoverflow for providing various answers. I've been unable to find the question in this answer, but it got me the answer I was looking for: openmap! However, the latitude longitude conversion to mgrs points seems to be faulty, but the reverse works perfectly fine; and that's what I needed.
