Well I am going to have to make a Java 5 property datastore if that is any help? I mentioned a 3.0.x branch, but the work will probably start in spike.
We do have the situation on a version revolt on Suns hands in response to Java 5 - some projects have identified a Java 1.3 friendly subset and are just focusing on work... for projects like GeoServer they will be expected to work in Java 1.4 for a long time, and the Java 1.3 backport of GeoServer gets kicked at least twice a year. So if we leave GeoTools 2.3. behind at Java 1.4 expect it the branch to leave a long time measured in years... Now here is a good question, wonder when uDig wants to move to Java 6 ;-) Cheers, Jody ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
