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.
