bulid NEST Version for eclipse

The Next ESA SAR Toolbox (NEST) will be used for reading, post-processing, analyzing and visualizing the large archive of data from present and planned ESA SAR missions including Sentinel-1, as well as third party SAR-data from JERS SAR, ALOS PALSAR, TerraSAR-X and Radarsat-2. NEST will help the remote sensing community by handling ESA SAR products and complimenting existing commercial packages.

NEST will include the functionality of the Basic Envisat SAR Toolbox (BEST) and will reuse and strive
to be compatible with the Basic ERS & Envisat (A)ATSR and MERIS (BEAM) Toolbox.

NEST is extensible with an API that allows users to easily create their own plugin Readers, Processors and Writers.
Developer workshops and tutorials will be planned to actively encourage contributions by the SAR community.
If you are interested in developing a reader or writer for a product please contact us.
