ImageIO Plugin System broken when using Classloaders
----------------------------------------------------

         Key: GEOT-706
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-706
     Project: GeoTools
        Type: Bug
  Components: admin  
    Versions: 2.2.M1, 2.1.1    
 Environment: uDig 1.0.4, OWS-3 project 
 Reporter: Jody Garnett
 Assigned to: James Macgill 


>From IRC:
jgarnett        james / justin we have exhausted all attempts to get the 
ImageIO plugin thing to work for udig
jgarnett        aka we can find the classes contributed by a "buddy classloader"
jgarnett        but the META-INF entries are not picted up by ImageIO
jgarnett        Jesse has checked that the geotools code tries calling this 
stuff everywhich way...
jgarnett        so the only conclusion is that ImageIO does not work ... and it 
is time to pack it in.
jgarnett        So as it stands we will just keep dumping jars into udig libs 
... cause we need to demo.
jgarnett        Real solution involves hacking the ImageIO code, or switching 
to OSGi (or something else?)

Steps we have taken:
1. Confirmed correct construction of FactoryFinder
2. Walked through with the debugger, correctly makes it into ImageIO code
