Object
- SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder

```
public class SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder
extends Object
```
A builder for simple feature types.
Simple Usage:
```
  
  //create the builder
  SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder builder = new SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder();

  //set global state
  builder.setName( "testType" );
  builder.setNamespaceURI( "http://www.geotools.org/" );
  builder.setSRS( "EPSG:4326" );

  //add attributes
  builder.add( "intProperty", Integer.class );
  builder.add( "stringProperty", String.class );
  builder.add( "pointProperty", Point.class );

  //add attribute setting per attribute state
  builder.minOccurs(0).maxOccurs(2).nillable(false).add("doubleProperty",Double.class);

  //build the type
  SimpleFeatureType featureType = builder.buildFeatureType();
  
 
```
This builder builds type by maintaining state. Two types of state are maintained: Global Type State and Per Attribute State. Methods which set global state are named set<property>(). Methods which set per attribute state are named <property>(). Furthermore calls to per attribute
Global state is reset after a call to buildFeatureType(). Per attribute state is reset after a call to add(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class<?>).
A default geometry for the feature type can be specified explictly via setDefaultGeometry(String). However if one is not set the first geometric attribute (GeometryType) added will be resulting default. So if only specifying a single geometry for the type there is no need to call the method. However if specifying multiple geometries then it is good practice to specify the name of the default geometry type. For instance:
```
  builder.add( "pointProperty", Point.class );
  builder.add( "lineProperty", LineString.class );
  builder.add( "polygonProperty", Polygon.class );

  builder.setDefaultGeometry( "lineProperty" );
        
```

    Create a SimpleFeatureType with the same content; just updating the geometry attribute to match the provided coordinate reference system.
    
    Parameters:
    
    original - SimpleFeatureType
    
    crs - CoordinateReferenceSystem of result
    
    Returns:
