New issue 12 by tallpsm...@gmail.com: Migrate the javax.measure stuff to
JSR 363
http://code.google.com/p/parfait/issues/detail?id=12

We currently use JSR 275 for units of measure, but that JSR has been
rejected. Instead we should migrate to the JSR 363. On advice from the
spec lead:

275 has been rejected 4 years ago. It was always feature-complete, e.g.
GeoAPI has also since added it to an official OGC standard, but the JSR was
non-final from a JCP point.
We currently see more momentum around 363 also from JUGs and the EC, so
this time fingers crossed it'll be final, and at leas then certainly
supersedes 275 or the Unit-API 0.6 (which we published under
unitsofmeasurement.org so far)

Please add www.unitsofmeasurement.org. The domain host doesn't allow a
wildcard, I also heard something similar from a host for a domain of
myself, but this one was registered by fellow Spec Lead Jean-Marie
Dautelle. unitsofmeasurement.github.io does not require a "www" in fact it
likely won't work, but the .org domain currently does.

Cheers,
Werner

Note, JSR 363 is available on all major (Maven) repositories like MavenCentral or JCenter following successful Early Draft last month.

If you consider migrating to the new (and as it looks like more official) javax.measure, please have a look.

Feel free to ask for help here in this thread or the units-dev and units-users lists also on Google Groups.

Cheers,

Werner
