Johann Sorel reassigned SIS-188:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Johann Sorel (was: Marc Le Bihan)
> Hide FieldDescriptor (a DBase3 internal format structure)
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SIS-188
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-188
> Project: Spatial Information Systems
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Shapefile
> Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
> Assignee: Johann Sorel
> Priority: Major
> Labels: JDBC, Shapefile
>
> The {{org.apache.sis.storage.shapefile}} package contains a
> {{FieldDescriptor}} public class, which contain information that look likes
> very specific to the internal of DBase format. For example:
> * Field name as an array of bytes (this is not what user would usually
> handle, which are rather {{String}} objects)
> * Field address in memory (maybe an heritage from C/C++ ?)
> * DBase+ Lan Reserved 2 (not sure what it is, documentation only said
> "reserved 2")
> Those internal details should not be visible to the users. I suggest to
> either declare the class package-privated, or move it to an internal package.
> The {{FieldDescriptors}} class, which is a list of {{FieldDescriptor}},
> should also move in the same way.
