   ## What changes were proposed in this PR?
   
   In the past weeks, we have collected feedback from the Sedona community and 
it turns out that 90% of Sedona users are still on Java 8. This is mainly 
because they all use fully managed cloud platforms such as AWS Glue and AWS 
EMR. It is not possible for them to upgrade the JVM themselves.
   
   If we upgrade to Java 11 now, it will directly affect 90% of our users. 
Therefore, We have decided to revert the GeoTools 30.X upgrade and stay on 
28.X. Hopefully, the major cloud platforms will start to support Java 11 in the 
next 6 months and then we will revisit this decision.
   
   ## How was this patch tested?
   
   Passing existing tests
   
   ## Did this PR include necessary documentation updates?
   
   - Yes, I have updated the documentation.
