If you create the proper KLM file I cannot see why you wouldn't be able to send it to the google earth client you are running. Have a look at the following links:

http://earth.google.com/kml/

http://earth.google.com/kml/kml_tut.html#basic_kml

How do I send the KLM file from my Java app to google earth (desktop)?  Is there an SDK or API for Google Earth?  No pun intended, but   I spent quite some hours "googling" this thing and nothing came up.  Most of the examples and samples are for JSP, servlets, PHP and what not.  What I need is the ability to incorporate GE into my Java app and continuously feed it with data (KLM files).

Any pointers?

So what was the answer?

The answer is that it can't be done - invoking GE from a java app and feeding it data (as responded by RoyalNepal).  I was looking for a possible solution for a standalone application.  The fact that RoyalNepal pointed out that it can't be done is a good enough answer for me.

Actually I haven't been online on EE much recently, so I've not followed up on many questions including this one.

>> Most of the examples and samples are for JSP, servlets, PHP and what not

Meaning you're able to get some response in JSPs, etc? If yes, you can get the same using sockets/ streams in J2SE as well and display it in something like a JEditorPane or an Applet maybe.

That won't work for what I need to do.  In order to include JSP, servlets, PHP, etc. into the equation then one must include some sort of a web/app server.  I am looking for a solution that is strictly for the standalone environment.

Yes, what I'm saying is that if the same can be displayed in a JEditorPane or some other component why not use it? Or is the case that its not possible to use it?

You cannot do it. I tried to do the same thing...but did not work..

If you are looking for standalone environment...and find how to do it...please let me know...
