Hey Jody, This is a surprising email from you, unusually full of stop energy. Could you explain why JAXB annotations are not a solution that fits in with what GeoTools is for? I know you have hesitations that perhaps that family of annotations is not mature enough for all future needs but that seems very vague a notion to stop people from writing the code they wish to write. So no, we can't merely say no because it's an easy word to use. What we could do would be to construct a series of serious technical arguments or worries which could each be assessed on their merit. So what are your concerns? Does JAXB prevent you from working in some way? Does it stop your parser from working? I know nothing about this one way or the other so can't help you construct such a list. We cannot however resolve anything if we can't define it. You are busy this week so perhaps you cannot do this now but 'just say no' has not been part of this project for the past decade so there is no reason to start now. --adrian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
