No. I don't intend to interfer with this.

Since I had not followed this topic much until now I didn't realize there is
something like "geoapi/pending". I just had a look at it. To me this looks
like a major extension of GeoAPI for complex features, possibly more.

To give you the whole picture:
This was early research for a FeatureTable widget. I wondered on what set of
interfaces such widget could operate. Since I want to use Java5, I did not
consider the GeoTools interfaces, but rather looked at the geoapi tiger
interfaces to check if they were suitable. Then I wanted to build a very
very simple implementation of some Feature related interfaces for testing
any such future widget ... and failed as you read.

I think I read this some time ago.

Do I understand this right: The fm branch for 2.3 will not be based on
GeoAPI 2.0, but on the "inofficial" geoapi/pending interfaces, which, as you
hope will eventually become part of the official GeoAPI 2.0.

I'll see what I can do. Thanks.
