Landon asked Peter: Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! I look forward to working on the GPX module for GeoTools. I've got a quick question for you to begin: How did you handle the actual parsing of the GPX xml file to produce the org.geotools.gpx.bean package? Did you use an xml binding framework like Castor? Peter answered: I did it in the way described here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/XML+Developers+Guide with some help from Justin. Though Justin said that even he doesn't use that now (or at least last August), but an other way. And after the code generation I edited some parts by hand too, so as it is now, it's not programmatically reproduceable. Jody wrote: "If you do bring Paul's code over make sure we have permission to; or publish the jar to the maven repository etc..." I already talked to Paul about this and got his permission. I'll likely incorporate his Java files directly, instead of using a separate JAR file. Paul did mention his code was released under the Apache license. Will I need to get it under the LGPL if I want to include his source files directly in my module? If I package them in a separate JAR on which my module depends, can they stay under the Apache license? I think Paul is pretty flexible on this issue. I want to do what is easiest.
