No! No! No! Geotools must keep the mappane simple. The mappane is an *example* or, at the extreme, a trivially simple user app for users who require only minimal display. The code must cost developers nothing. I would personally argue to keep but document all the bugs which arise (except the missing close_on_exit because that's pointlessly annoying). Keep Geotools a lib, there's plenty to do there without worrying about getting 'Great mappane number 9' running again for release 2.8. We agreed to work on a mappane because it was wanted but *not* to create a sophisticated app. We all would like a better set of GUI widgets and, check it out, there's a whole project to do just that. The out of this world great mappane and its ilk belong in GeoWidgets. If you want to work on a gui for free GIS. Please, please, PLEASE join GeoWidgets. --adrian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
