Re: [Geoserver-devel] Status of the CSS extension?

Hi,

Unless you or someone else will be picking up the maintenance for the scala CSS module, I’d say go ahead and drop it.

If someone does begin updates/maintenance to the scala version in the future, you can always come back and implement the check for which to use later.

Subject: [Geoserver-devel] Status of the CSS extension?

Hi,
as you might be aware I'm working on the gt-css module, which should provide more or less
the same functionality of the GeoScript scala css support.

Now, the current css module in GeoServer relies on the Scala code, and I'm preparing
a patch to have it work against either the Scala code or the gt-css one depending
on what it finds in the classpath.

However, given that the Scala CSS support has not seen any activity in a long time,
and hearing on twitter that apparently that the latest version of the OpenGeo suite
dropped support for CSS I'm wondering if I'm just overthinking it, and I should
go for a direct replacement.

David, are you around, care to comment?
In case we don't hear from David, what do you suggest we should do?

Cheers
Andrea
