Jody/Adrian, Let me throw my 2cents in....
I'm a big fan of the gt2 project and I think it will be just the ticket for the thesis project that I'm working on. The active email forum has saved my bacon at least twice already, so I'm thankful for your involvement. A simple viewer with a simple GUI is a great tool to have in the library. As a novice gt2 user and intermediate Java hack, the ability to see my own data presented in a JFrame is very empowering. I like the Udig quite a bit also, but I get more satisfaction and confidence in my code and data structuring when my code powers the window. Just my vote to rally support for the simple viewer and for documentation/javadoc for the newbie!

We are sorry the current developer community has not been able to maintain or provide any GUI support - it is an open source project and patches speak louder then words ;-) Volunteer - just for the GUI of it Cheers, Jody > Hello all, > > *All* of the GUI classes were indeed removed in the latter release > candidates of Geotools 2.2.
