>>Martin Desruisseaux commented on SIS-179:
>>-----------------------------------------
>>
>>Maybe {{org.apache.sis.storage.database}} is a too generic package name
>>for a code which is specific to the DBF3 format? Some alternatives may
>>be:
>>
>>* Keep {{Database}} and related classes in
>>{{org.apache.sis.storage.shapefile}} for now, if possible as
>>package-privated classes.
>>* Or alternatively, but them in a
>>{{org.apache.sis.internal.storage.dbf3}} package. Note the {{internal}}
>>in the package name - those packages are hidden from public API. The
>>reason for that is that JDBC drivers usually expose only their API
>>through JDBC interfaces, and try to hide their internal mechanic from the
>>user as much as possible.
>>
>>Note that the {{sis-shapefile}} module has significant dependencies, like
>>{{sis-referencing}} (to be needed for parsing {{.prj}} files). The weight
>>of those dependencies may discourage some peoples to use
>>{{sis-shapefile}} for reading plain DBF3 files. Maybe some users would be
>>more interested in having a copy of the code for the DBF3-only part in a
>>separated, lightweight project. However having the DBF3-only part in a
>>separated package may make such separation easier.
>>
>>P.S.: If possible, I would like to get ride of {{CodePage}} class since I
>>think it duplicates {{java.nio.charset}}.
