Re: [Geotools-devel] I have asked Jesse to start on FeatureCollections/FeatureResults merge

[Jody G. <jga...@re...>]

Summary: No client code will break, deprecation warnings will be provided.

> Here is the plan:
> 1) FeatureResults is extended by FeatureCollection
> 2) FeatureResults is *not* deprecated (otherwise FeatureCollections 
> would be)
> 3) Individual methods of FeatureResults, like reader(), are deprecated 
> with instructions to use FeatureCollection.iterator()
> 4) An adapter will be made to gather up a FeatureReader in Iterator 
> clothing
> 5) FeatureCollection.close( iterator ) will be used as a replacement 
> for FeatureReader close in client code
