Hi, I might report it previously, the Java web service client code fails to deserialise Dataset because of BoundingBox code. org.gbif.api.model.registry.eml.geospatial.BoundingBox does not have setGlobalCoverage(boolean) method while JSON response has globalCoverage of boolean. Here is a fix patch.
