Yes, that would be good. I also had the idea to create a gt-gui or something similar to kind of force the 2 guis to stay aligned. I think the best thing here is really that I try to do as much as possible and then we talk and then, where needed, we refactor. Right now I would not be able to tell you how to solve certain situations. > The branch code fixes quite a few of the problems that have been > long-standing in the current module.

One thing I am finding is that jface has several things from library already, whereas they were coded in the gt-swing (ex. ProgressMonitor, ExceptionDialog, etc etc). Also some small things can be borrowed from udig. For example the crs dialog is very nice in udig and I see no reason for not having it that nice here even if different. So yes, give me some time and then we can talk when I have some stuff at hand. One of the nicest things I noticed is that while earlier to run a standalone SWT app you needed to tweak the native library path, now everything is bundled in the jars. So no reason for failing on running it. One not so nice thing is that the needed jars currently are not on maven repos. Here comes a question about the osgeo maven repo. I know there is a tutorial about how to put things on maven repo somewhere. Is any geotools committer allowed to load jers on the maven repo?
