Andrea,

The uDig integration is not bridging the GeoTools process API with
Sextante. It just calls the Sextante algorithms, feeding them with
GeoTools data objects. The bridge is between the geotools data model and
the Sextante data model(which is just a set of interfaces). This is the
way Sextante can be linked to any GIS or geodata library, just wrapping
data objects so they implement the corresponding Sextante interfaces and
Sextante can take from them the data it needs to perform analysis.

Bindings for GT2.2, GT2.4 and GT2.5 are already developed and available in
the SVN repository. Also, there is a package that contains classes that
implement the GeoTools process API and are based on Sextante algorithms,
wrapping them, but as far as I know, this is not being used in uDig (or
anywhere else...).

These classes haven't been tested much, but they could be used for that
Sextante-based GeoTools module that you propose (which I think is a great
idea). If so, I would be pleased to contribute and work improving those
classes or whatever you might consider necessary.

Regards

Victor
