Hello I guess it's time to introduce myself (again). My name is Stefan Krüger and i am a Java-FOSSGIS-freelancer from Bonn, Germany. I am the lead developer of Geopublisher and the AtlasStyler SLD editor - both are Swing desktop applications that build heavily on Geotools.
http://www.ohloh.net/p/Geopublishing http://en.geopublishing.org We (that is Martin Schmitz (http://www.ohloh.net/p/schmitzm) and me) have been using Geotools 2.4 for the last two years in multiple projects and we have patched it a lot to get it all running the way we needed it. This week we finally found the time to catch up with 2.6-M2. ... and we have to redo many of the patches...;-) I have been more active on the geotools mailing-lists in 2007, but sadly we had the feeling that none of the code we send to the ML ever made it into the trunc. But that was probably due to the fact, that we didn't send proper .patch files, nor JUnit tests. Now that we finally switched to 2.6-M2 - and after meeting Andrea Aime in Bolsena - i want to give it a second try: I want to become a GT comitter for bugfixes and tiny changes! Not next week, not next month, but it would be great if i could climb up the ladder this year. I know that I have to invest time and energy to gain that trust... and i am willing to. At the moment, when i do a local patch, i just copy the class into my project an do the changes there. But i realized that the patches i then generate will not fit cleanly into the GT svn. I guess as the very first step I have to set up Eclipse with GT-Trunc and get it to build. So I will work through the Developers Guide next week. Last but not lest I want to say a BIG THANK YOU for this great libary. Developing with geotools is really like "standing on the shoulders of giants".
