Those you pointed at are the upgrade manuals we have, I don't believe there are other sources. If the project is very small you could rewrite it, otherwise I'd try to update it jumping straight from 2.4 to 2.7.0 If you get stuck there is also the option of commercial support, there are companies providing support services that could lend you a core developer and assist you in the upgrade, see here: http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/welcome/support.html Btw, Jody latey made a very large work on docs and with the help of Michael they also prepared a number of runnable demos, so getting up to speed with 2.7.0 should be easier than the learning curve you had for 2.4.x: http://docs.geotools.org/ Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
