[gdal-dev] image-io extension

[Simone Giannecchini]

Ciao Even,
I have asked daniele to make those changes (which have not been reviewed yet)
in order to move away from the explicit usage of Vector and HashTable in method
signatures in favour of using the respective interfaces (List and Map).
Daniele can add more as needed...

As you mentioned this change can break old code, but it should
make the java bindings more ... javaish :).

We have other changes in the queue which we might submit to your review
early next year, but this is another topic...


Viji , I don't think you need to use the patch you are referring to since
that is needed for imageio-ext 1.1 which has not been released yet.
The latest (and greatest) is 1.0.8 which uses an older gdal version.

Ciao,
Simone.
