Something in the middle. There's not _supported_ gpx module in geotools AFAIK. You should go ahead and resurrect it and become the module maintainer, so that there's a supported gpx module in geotools, for the greater benefit of the community and yours by having more people to help you out from that same community. Aside: I would advise to use the standard StAX pull/push XML API instead of SAX. The pull/push approach proved to be way better for streaming content as it puts you in control of the flow instead of passively waiting for the parser's call backs, so you can skip content, stop when needed, etc. The XPP pull parser I think is an older legacy push/pull parser with an API quite similar to the StAX one, which's a standard one.
