[udig-devel] Blackboard to normal containers

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

uDig is switching over to the use of PicoContainer. This industry 
standard container will be phasing out the used of our own Blackboard 
interface.

Migration plan:
1) catalog.ui use PicoContainer
2) project transition from Blackboard to PicoContainer
3) layer transition from StyleBlackboard to a persisted PicoContainer

David Zwiers did some research on this topic, the IoC thread a couple 
weeks ago generated some useful input into container requirements. 
NanoContainer was considered but was specific to scripting languages, 
PicoContainer is the java side of that project. Spring container was 
J2EE specific.
