Hi all,

Spent the day getting re-aquainted with FM and thought I would send out an update.

Modules in the build:

module/coverage
module/referencing
module/api
module/main
ext/xml
ext/gml2

The xml and gml2 extensions are some of the gtxml stuff that has been going on over the last year. Its not doing any parsing, its just doing some transformation from xml schema to the new model. The goal being to able to create features which act like the old model in terms of being tied to gml. So that when you get a FeatureType, it extends from AbstractFeatureType, etc.. I think this is a step forward from the old system as it doesn't tie the core model to any one schema, that is provided by the gml plugin.

The motivation for this is to be able to test the model top-down (or integration testing). Basically being able to throw gml at the model make sure the it holds up. I think this compliments the unit testing nicley as the two dont really step on each others toes but both test the core model.

So I would like to propose an addition to the current plan:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Feature+Model+Game+Plan

and add a section for "Integration Testing", which will be basically broken up into sections testing the type builders and xml support.
