[VOTE] Merge Temp_URI_Resolution/ into XGC trunk
Hi All, I believe I've completed the work on XGC to allow restrictions to the I/O capabilities, by default, obviously, the mechanisms haven't changed. I've tried to address some of the suggestions made by the community, Jeremias' in particular, about the ramifications of changing the APIs and as such have left them as untouched as possible. I've done some clean up where appropriate and hope you agree that the code is better now than it was before. There are however some limitations, the JAI ImageIO JAR needs to be on the class path when you want TIFF output. The non-JAI TIFF image encoding system still does spurious I/O to use as scratch files, this has been left untouched since the JAI route supports more TIFF types and is the default opus operandi. (N.B.// The JAI method also does some scratch-file making itself, but you've got to assume that the guys/girls at Sun would have considered the implications of such behaviour.) Spiel aside I'll get the vote started +1 from me. Thanks Mehdi
