Well let us consider going the other direction; you could back port the fixes for the gt-wms plugin. The plugin is pretty darn standalone - the only change recently has been from "Style" to "StyleImpl" as a geoapi interface we were using was removed. > As to the GTCloneUtils, I believe it was deprecated in the 2.4.x > branch, but > still used for object cloning in our code base.

No worries - user list is here for discussion. In general clone is not used much by modern java programs (since the API contract is odd enough you can almost never trust people to get it right). We have explicit deep copy visitors for expression and style which should be used instead. > At this point, I am trying to determine if the upgrade is really the > best > path for the project, or if there might be a way to hack together > something > to deal with the capabilities document that ESRI provides. See above. You can also review the various support organisations listed on the wiki; I imagine it would be 1-2 days work to backport the wms fixes and issue a new 2.4.x release.
