Great! I mean, the part that the style interfaces are the only thing 
changing, not that I will be the reason for any instability..

Great too. I've seen that the deprecated methods are also still around, 
so moving towards it should be smooth enough.

OK

Ahm, sorry about the ignorance, but why do you guys want to copy the 
current SLDParser instead of modifying it directly? I guess there is 
something here I haven't grasped: do you want to split the current 
parser and put all the symbolizer-specific methods (such as 
parseXXXSymbolizer/Mark/Stroke/etc) in a separate SEParser?


Well, aside from that, as I said in a previous e-mail, I am still a 
little confused about how to use the bindings framework. From what you 
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?


So: I guess for now I will be moving to 2.6, and making things work with 
SLDParser.

For us too, thanks for the support!
