GeoTools 2.2 mostly implements the CoordinateReferenceSystem and referencing classes GeoTools 2.3 implements the Filter interfaces GeoTools 2.4 is intended to implement the Style interfaces GeoTools 2.5 will finally start in on the Feature interfaces
For more information please review (and comment on) this steering document I made last week. It is nothing offical just what I can figure out of where we are going and who is planning to take us there. So if you have plans let me know ;-) - http://docs.codehaus.org/download/attachments/16158/GTSteering.pdf > Could please someone help, or direct me to a source of documentation > explaining what the relationships between these projects are ? > We do try and make use of GeoAPI interfaces as they become available (says so on the home page), but often available is different from implementable as we found out over the years. I hope the steering document helps as it tracks geotools release against expected geoapi version for the next quarter.
