Hi Andrea, thanks for your response

In the end I've started with the one from 2.5, made the changes necessary to run it with GeoTools 8 and fixed some bugs I stumbled across. Unfortunatley I did not take the time to port it over to ContentDataStore, both because of my thin knowledge of GT and time pressure.

Regards,

Peter

    As seems, there were some attemps to write a GPX DataSTore in the
    past. At least in the Subversion repository there is

    "gpx", which was shipped with GeoTools 2.5 (
    https://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/branches/2.5.x/modules/unsupported/gpx/)
    "gpx2", whioch was shipped with GeoTools 2.7 (
    https://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/branches/2.7.x/modules/unsupported/gpx2/)

    Is there a reason, why they were dropped?


Lack of maintainership, along with low interest in the community (no other dev interested, close to no requests
for such functionality to start with).
A module needs someone that officially cares for it, both attempts were made
by people that eventually disappeared, so did the modules

If I had to start today I'd have a look at the parsing portions, but would rewrite the store to be based on ContentDataStore (it's the base class we suggest people to use in order to write
a new data store today).

Cheers
Andrea
