Hello.
I am using OpenMap WMS Server, but not OpenMap WMS Plugin.

My main problem with it is the lack of projection handling. The WMS
Layer/PlugIn should be able to know about the SRS of the current view
and use the GetCapabilities-response to find the best matching SRS.

I am using OpenMap WMS Server as
1) We already used OpenMap for other non-WMS things
2) It is java. That is why we are not using MapServer
3) GeoServer is GPL and that would not work for us
4) deegree is LGPL, but we ended up with OpenMap for various reasons
The OpenMap WMS is working very nicely. We have done a lot of work on
supporting different coordinate systems/projections and also on the
performance side. Like using fork-join for maximum performance on
multi-core servers.

We use shape files and our own layers.
