Now that my keyboard has batteries again I can actually mention why I 
forwarded this link.
Way back in July I sent out an article on Pico-Container and Inversion 
of Control.

The above article is a nice walk though of the design problems and 
decisions that even based systems (like listener lists) encounter and 
the kind of solutions inversion of control an offer.

I should also point out the reason you have not heard about inversion of 
control in the udig code base is due to the eclipse plugin framework.  
It already provides a framework (ie the Platform) that gives us the 
benifits of PicoContainer.

Several of the other isues identified in the article have been addressed 
on a case by case basis - such s the use of "Change Deltas" in the 
Catalog API.
