Hi, First, let me introduce myself : I'm one of the developers of eXist, an open source native XML database (http://exist.sourceforge.net/). In order to make a proof-of-concept for our new modularized indexes, I'm currently working on implementing spatial indexes for GML files.
For this purpose, I'm using Geotools - I'm watching it from its very beginning -, mainly the GML and the CRS stuff. I've downloaded the 2.4-M1 binaries (from http://geotools.codehaus.org/2.4-M1) and I rely on 2.4-M1 javadocs (http://javadoc.geotools.fr/), sometimes following the links to SVN HEAD to study the code (I wish we had line numbers displayed). Everything's going well so far. However, I encounter a few issues. I've heard that the feature model is likely to change in the next months but I only need to access geometries (other stuff around it will - hopefully - be handled by eXist ;-), at least for now. So my question is about the present and future of Geotools's GML stuff and, in particular about this long-standing issue : http://codehaus01a.managed.contegix.com/browse/GEOT-742 ... which makes detection of "wrong" geometries more difficult that it needs to be (not counting the hard-coded messages on System.err). Implementing this RFE would also make my life easier :-) : http://codehaus01a.managed.contegix.com/browse/GEOT-1239 Should I expect these issues to be fixed "soon" or should I implement work arounds in eXist's code ? Usually, I would have filled patches, just like an open source developer should do but I still have some difficulties to master Geotools's development process (namely Maven).
