Hey Jody, Is there an online javadoc presentation of the 2.2.x branch of geotools rather than the 2.3.x branch? It seems like all uDig user questions, and most geotools user questions should point to the 2.2.x branch rather than to the javadocs of head (aka 2.3). We have enough headaches without using javadocs for a different version of geotools than what uDig is based on.
Unless you all are *way* ahead of me and working on some bleeding edge stuff. ;-) all the best, adrian (yes, of course, in this case it doesn't matter yet. But users have a funny way of clicking on links and getting into all sorts of new areas).
