Probably after talking with Jesse :-)

So as an update I asked Justin and Jesse to talk on skype the other day 
and we arrived at the following:
1. URI is much "nicer" to work with then URL for this purpose
2. Justin has a deadline this week, he is using his GeoTools Catalog 
code for his WFS 1.1 implementation
3. Jesse has a deadline next week
4. Earliest we can do something is the middle of September

Short Term:
As a temporary hack I have made an "adapter" between the two interfaces, 
it will allows us to write a Service/GeoResource once for both uDig and 
GeoServer but it is not a great solution.

Long Term:
1. Change GeoTools Resolve.getIdentifier(): URI to Resolve.getId() on 
2.2.1 and 2.2.0 (with no documentation catalog api is not wildly used yet)
2. Change uDig IResolve to extend GeoTools Resolve and deprecated 
IResolve.getIdenitifier(): URL
