5. Facades, two-level API
-------------------------
I believe that GeoTools could become a much more user-friendly API if it had a
strict two-level API and developer guidelines that facilitate it.

Just my 2 cents: it may help if we stay a little bit conservative in method access ("public", "protected", etc.). Begin with private, turn into protected or public as needed (it is much easier to turn a private method into a public one than the converse).

Future javadoc tools (targeted for J2SE 1.6) may provide different views for basic/advanced methods using "public" and "protected" access. See the following prototype:

  http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/6/JFrame.html#method_summary

Click "Show All Methods" at right side of the "Method Summary" title.

        Martin.
