[udig-devel] gui module to geowidgets? (was) Re: [Geotools-devel] Quick

[Chris Holmes <cholmes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I may be off here on the intentions of geowidgets, but I'm wondering
if we could consider moving the 'gui' module from geotools to
geowidgets.  You know the one that few of us use, that we get a bunch
of questions about why it's not in some releases (because it's in
legacy or migrate because no developers really support it).  I think it
could generate more interest for geowidgets, and would give us a more
contained place to point people looking for gui type functionality. 
Perhaps it's not the intent of geowidgets to handle the same type of
things, but I like the idea of having geotools split up a bit more, so
that for example people wanting to hack on the gui stuff don't have to
build main every time.  Thoughts?

Also, Matthias - I'm sure we can find you some tools to support your
project, if you're willing to commit to it and take a decent lead.  SVN
at refractions, confluence and jira at codehaus, downloads at
sourceforge (well, you can get sf on your own).
