Hi Viji, I maintain the GDAL Java bindings, but the image-io GDAL plugin is another project whose maintener is Daniele I think. He'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I saw his name on http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/ImageIO-EXT+GDAL ;-) . I've CC'ed him so he has a chance to comment and explain the rational of the patch.
I wasn't aware of this patch. I've skimmed through it quickly, and it seems that it only replaces old-fashionned data structures like Vector to use more trendish ArrayList + Java 1.5 generics. Well, this is certainly not a bad idea (something to consider for GDAL 2.0 ?), but I fail to see why it was *necessary* . I'm not particularly keen on applying this patch in GDAL mainline as it changes the API of the Java bindings, thus breaking working code of other users. I fail to see why ImageIO-EXT cannot use the existing API, even if it is perhaps not as convenient as it could be if it was using more modern Java API.
