! <H1>GeoTools Demos and Tutorials Package 1.1</H1>
<H2>Introduction</H2>
! <P>The GeoTools open source java mapping toolkit is a flexable library of rutines and objects that can be used
! to build interactive web based applets as well as stand allone applications.</P>
! <P>The GeoTools package is not an application in its own right however, only a toolkit, so in order to place a
! map on the web, or into an application small amounts of additonal code is required.</P>
! <P>This package aims to provide a suite of small applets, and latter applications, that can either be used 'as
! is', or used as a starting point for more addvanced programs. (Or you might just want to canabalise bits out of
! each one)</P>
! <H2>Requirements</H2>
! <P>GeoTools 0.7.9dev1 (included in jars folder) <BR>
! Java 1.1 or later<BR>
! suns Collections package (available in full from the geotools ftp site, jar file can be found in jars directory)</P>
! <P></P>
! <H2>The Demos</H2>
! <P>The following demonstrations have been ilustated with the aim of providing clear examples of GeoTools usage, as a result
! there is a minimum of non-geotools related code, for example code for error handling is not as much in evidence
! as perhaps it should be.</P>

! <P>A very simple applet that shows how a shapefile can be read and displayd in an applet along with a standard
! toolbar.</P>

!
! <P>The applet tag contains a single param tag 'shapefile' that specifies the relative address of the shapefile
! to load.</P>

! <H1>GeoTools 0.8.0 Release Candidate 1</H1>
<H2>Introduction</H2>
! <H3>What is GeoTools?</H3>
! <H3>What is a release candidate?</H3>
<P>
! <H2>Getting started</H2>
! <P>
! <H2>What's not in this release?</H2>
! <P>The creation of this (0.8.0) release of GeoTools involved more the removal of code than the addition of anything
! new. GeoTools has undergone continuous active development since its last official release over a year ago: much
! of it, however, experimental. In order to provide a stable release, it was therefore decided to package together
! all of the most important code, whilst excluding the newer, experimental code. Therefore, this release does not
! include any of the following features:</P>
! <P><BR>
! Simple Feature SQL (SFSQL): Database communication standard, set out by Open GIS Consortium (OGC).</P>
! <P>Geographical Markup Language (GML): The XML-based standard from the OGC for the exchange of geographic data.</P>
! <P>MapInfo Interchange Format (MIF): File format used by MapInfo.</P>
! <P>Web Map Server support (WMS): Easy connection to OGC-compliant web map servers.</P>
! <P>Threaded loading: Improved multi-threaded loading system.</P>
! <P>Data entry: Tools for creating and editing maps.</P>
! <P>Demonstrations: Demonstrations which relied on any of the above features have been removed.</P>
! <P><BR>
! If you would like to help develop any of the above features, or are not afraid to work with experimental code,
! then you can look at downloading the latest nightly builds from: <A HREF="http://www.geotools.org/dload.php">http://www.geotools.org/dload.php</A>.
! We hope to have many, if not all, of the above features in a suitable state to include in the 0.9.x release of
! GeoTools.</P>
