Hello all
In OGC meeting last October, GeoAPI 3.0.2 has been presented to the
closing plenary for approval. GeoAPI [1] is the OGC standard defining
Java interfaces in the 'org.opengis' namespace. GeoAPI 3.0.2 is an
upgrade of GeoAPI 3.0.1 with identical Java interfaces – no API added or
removed. The only significant changes are:
* Add 'module-info' (used only by Java 9+) with 'org.opengis.geoapi'
as the module name.
* Upgrade minimal Java requirement from Java 7 to Java 8.
* Upgrade Unit Of Measurement dependency from JSR-363 to JSR-385 [2].
This is the standard from Java Community Process that defines
interfaces in the 'javax.measure' namespace.
Because those changes are only upgrades (adding a module name is part of
upgrading to Java 9), this is considered a corrigendum. The release
candidate is available on a staging repository. It can be tested by
adding the following declaration in a Maven project:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>geoapi.staging</id>
<name>GeoAPI staging repository</name>
<url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/orgopengis-1200/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
I already tested with the following projects:
* Apache SIS [3]
* PROJ-JNI [4]
* IOGP GIGS tests suite [5]. In particular I have run the GIGS tests
on Apache SIS with both projects using GeoAPI 3.0.2.
While OGC did not requested a public comment period for the release of a
Maven artifact, I guess that applying the 30 days period would be fair.
So if there is no objection by Friday January 27th, the artifact in
above-cited URL will be published as-is to the Maven Central repository.
