Jody, Thank you for responding so quickly. I always appreciate your efforts to answer my questions. Attempted collaboration with Geotools wouldn't be the same without you. :]
Based on the history that you posted, it sounds like OpenJUMP may have made some shapefile fixes that you guys are missing. I think most of our fixes had to do with the way polygon rings are handled. I will have to search our mailing list and ask around to see if I can get a list of the fixes we implemented. Who would I talk to about seeing if these fixes are needed in the Geotools shapefile code, and on getting them contributed if they are needed? It sounds like I can just use the existing WKT reader that is in OpenJUMP. I'll post another message with a question on how to get started with the Shapefile code in Geotools. Thanks again for the help.
