Could someone give me a rundown of the distinctions between Types and
Descriptors (e.g. AttributeType and AttributeDescriptor). I'm confused
mainly because all of the *Type interfaces in the GeoTools legacy API
are deprecated with pointers to their *Descriptor counterparts in the
GeoAPI, yet the *Type classes exist there as well.

Also, in these cases, some of the original methods on the legacy
GeoTools Type interface indeed exist on the GeoAPI Descriptor interface,
such as getMinOccurs(), but some exist on the GeoAPI Type interface,
such as getBinding() (which is a rename of getType(), just to add to the
confusion).

So I've decided that rather than try to work backward from original
intent to the current state (which has been my strategy so far), I would
write here and ask, in the present design, what is the distinction
between types and descriptors.


Thanks,
