Martin Desruisseaux commented on SIS-128:
-----------------------------------------

This task need to be put on standby, since a new JSR for units of measurement has been started: http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=363

> We needs an implementation of {{org.unitsofmeasurement.Unit}} to be used as a replacement of JSR-275. This is needed since the JSR-275 specification attempt has been rejected. Some existing implementations exist, especially the UOMo and JScience projects, but we also have some legacy classes that we could refactor. A possible advantage of the later approach is that we have to support some rather particular Unit, like the one used in NetCDF files (e.g. "degrees_east"), which may be easier in a custom implementation.
