[udig-devel] Help with simple plugin

[Jody Garnett]

One thing that *almost* helps is that GeoTools is based on "standards" 
published by the OGC (so you can download lots of documentation and you 
will find the names line up between the GeoTools code base and the class 
diagrams in the standards).

However recently they started working with OGC people started working 
more with ISO Standards (which you have to pay in order to read). This 
is EVIL - one nice person (Bryce!) has made up "primers" on the ISO 
specs that have pictures. These primers are not kind to the the faint of 
heart, but they are kind to the faint of budget.

You will also find the GeoAPI project useful - as they convert the 
standards into normal Java interfaces for us to all use.
