Hey Gabriel, 1) I take it you fixed the distribution issues, is that right?
2) The release notes should note that much of the stuff added in the milestones has now been removed from the distribution: e.g. new Swing widgets, geometry as supported module, gpx datastore, jaxb annotations. 3) who is this opengeo that is now contributing to the community? --adrian On Tue, 2008-08-26 at 11:24 -0300, Gabriel Roldán wrote: > The GeoTools 2.5-RC0 release candidate is available for download: > > * http://geotools.codehaus.org/2.5-RC0 > > The GeoTools 2.5 series is reaching stability.
