Ok, as you know I was asking how to do this and having so many problems. I
resolved the problem but now have refined the issue
I was looking around and found that the gt-coverage library uses it and
brings in a copy that fop can also use.
So originally I used
<repository>
<id>osgeo</id>
<name>Open Source Geospatial Foundation Repository</name>
<url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
</repository>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
<artifactId>gt-coverage</artifactId>
<version>2.7.4</version>
</dependency>
But that pulls in extra stuff so using the maven dependency tools in
netbeans I have managed to get it to this
<repository>
<id>osgeo</id>
<name>Open Source Geospatial Foundation Repository</name>
<url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
</repository>
<dependency>
<groupId>it.geosolutions.imageio-ext </groupId>
<artifactId>imageio-ext-tiff</artifactId>
<version>1.0.8</version>
</dependency>
This brings in the JAI without needing it locally.
Just thought I would detail my solution so others in the future can google
it and find this solution.
