Hello again, people

> 1. Determine if we can move right away to 2.6. If you have any hints

OK, I did a quick switch to GeoTools 2.6, and it didn't seem too much of
an issue to change (all the deprecated methods are still there.. for now
at least ;) ).

By the way, I should say that for some reason at least files 
gt-imageio-ext-gdal-2.6-M1.jar and gt-oracle-spatial-2.6-M1.jar are 
missing from the OSGEO repository (although they're included in the 
binaries at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/2.6-M1).

Well, from what Jody said previously, I thought I should be dealing with
org.geotools.xml.Parser and org.geotools.xml.Configuration (and
specifically with org.geotools.xml.SLDConfiguration). Is that correct?
However, I tried hard but couldn't find the right maven dependency for
those classes. It seems to be in org.geotools.xsd.gt-sld, but I couldn't 
get it neither for 2.5-SNAPSHOT nor for 2.6-SNAPSHOT. Also, there is no
mention to the jar in the javadocs (as there usually is). So.. where am
I wrong?

Thanks,
Milton

PS: just to let you know, I'll be away (and probably not checking much 
e-mail) until next Thursday.
