I remember that I read some conversation that geotools should not provide
'official' support for interchange data formats like MIF. Instead geotools
should concentrate to provide support for 'real' dataformats like shp. I
think of course it would be better to have support for 'real' MapInfo tab
but how to hack the data format specifications? I quess that tab -support
is out of question so Sig's current contribution's on MIF plugin is a must
for geotools.
Please support whatever we can at the toolkit level, it is up to
application to make use of what we provide. Remember that the
applications make these capabilities visible to the end user, and it is
really for them to decide what should be done.
