David,
I really value your input on this, since you have a lot more knowledge of
GeoTools than I do. I was going to ask you about this directly, but I know
that you are busy.
I'm leaning towards the solution of using a GeoTools-To-JUMP Featuer
converter. It's really a question of what will take more time. Rewriting
some of the Shapefile access code, or writing the converter. At least if I
write the converter we may have the opportunity to benefit from other
GeoTools code.
Do you have any thoughts on this? Any thoughts on the GeoTools Shapefile
code?
I'm also hoping to see what type of feedback I get from the GeoTools folks,
if any. I don't want the hassle of trying to work with code from a community
that has issues comminicating with new developers.
Thanks for taking the time to drop me a note on this.

SS,
I read briefly over your blog, and noticed that you have not taken
stability or product maturity into account. In my opinion GT does not have
either of these components, as can be seen by the rapidly changing API
(version 2.1 is not even a drop-in for version 2.0!). I am only making
this point, because in option 1 of your blog you seem to imply we could work
from a single set of jars which would be fixed incrementally (and thus would
not need to maintain an OpenJump copy of the GT). If you cannot simple 'Drop
replace' the jars, then I cannot see a substantial benefit to Option 1 in
terms of collaboration opportunities.

I've got a blog post up that talks about some challenges to collaboration
with GeoTools. I'd really like to get some input and suggestions from
others, including any of the GeoTools Project that keep an ear on this
mailing list.
I've also got a short post up on the Location Intelligence conference in
San Francisco.
