Updating from 2.0.x to 2.1.x

Geotools 2.1 has the following planned changes you should be aware of:

the removal of methods deprecated in 2.0
port to GeoAPI Coordinate Reference System

For quick feedback change you compiler settings to make the use deprecated methods an Error.

CRSService and CoordinateReferenceSystem

The functionality formally known as CRSServices is available in three places:

org.geotools.geometry.JTS
- JTS.transform( Envelope, MathTransform )
org.geotools.referencing.CRS
- CRS.decode( "EPSG:1234" )
- CRS.transform( from, to )
org.geotools.feature.FeatureTypes

This represents the most significan change yet to GeoTools 2, thanks to everyone for their support.
