Okay, I now changed the proposal to move everything to main that can be
moved to main.
Please have a look at the updated version.
I hope we can get the needed +1's as soon as possible.
Cheers
Niels

Niels, that is a very good point. Andrea, there is a bunch of XSD
stuff like substitution groups that are not represented in GeoAPI.
It makes it quite tricky to break this dependency. Niels knows
because he implemented a lot of it.
As future work, we could look at refactoring the way XSD
information is handled in complex types. Perhaps we would be
better off moving towards that goal one step at a time?
Andrea, would it be OK to accept the dependencies listed by Niels?
They will not prevent non-XML uses. Future refactoring could make
this optional, and client code could (for example) inject an XML
provider. I do not know if Niels is in a position to implement
such a large refactoring at this time.
I remain on my position, everything that is complex feature but does
not require XSD should be merged in main (Feature is the base class,
it's a bit ridicolous that
in order to use it one has to add half of GeoTools in the classpath)
and gt-complex should probably be renamed gt-complex-xsd to make
things clear,
that the module is useful only if you're messing with xml schemas.
I know it's not idea, but still looks like a step forward compared to
the current situation, where usage of complex features is basically
limited to
a single data store implementation.
Hopefully in time we'll get a xpath property accessor that does not
requires xsd and slowly move to a saner situation where
using complex features can be done with just gt-main in the classpath.
