[postgis-users] postgis.jar file does not contain latest geometry types

[Ken Southerland]

It seems the postgis.jar file is lagging the development of the new curve 
types for postgis 1.2.  This is the exception I get when I try to read an 
object of the new CicularString type....

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown Geometry Type: 8

        ... 27 more

... I am willing to upgrade the java code, adding and editing the necessary 
classes, if I had information as to how the binary data is stored.  What is 
the process for contributing to this project or is someone else working on 
this already?

Cheers,

Ken
