Hello again
A "Deprecable" interface [1] has been added for classes having a
"isDeprecated()" method. Despite the name, this is unrelated to Java
deprecated constructs. The main use case is for deprecated Coordinate
Reference System (CRS): when an error is discovered in the definition of
a CRS in the EPSG database, the EPSG maintainers do not fix the error.
Instead, they deprecate the erroneous definition and create a new
definition with a new EPSG code. So the "isDeprecated()" method is for
identifying such deprecated CRS, for example in order to allow the
library to log warnings when data are using a deprecated CRS.
But I don't know if "Deprecable" is okay as a word for this interface...
Any advice?
Thanks,
Martin
