But for save and restore properties in a Task (project) you have simply make a
Map taskProperties = task.getProperties() And then you can put or get your own properties which will be saved/restored automatically. With simple types this runs out of the box. For complex types you have to build a java2xml mapping file corresponding to the java class file. Second I mean, that we should extend the set SRID stuff. Because most of the EPSG definitions have a "units" parameter. So we can use the EPSG parameters in the future for coordinate transformation and measure computations. The bad way is to have two unit parameters in OJ. Ede please can you tell us your statement, because your are more the coordinate transformation expert than I.
