At that time, Maven 1 and Maven 2 builds were running in parallel. Most peoples
were still using
Maven 1, which was building "oraclespatial" correctly I guess. The Maven 2
build was experimental
and had a single contributor until February 2006 approximatively. The most
difficult task in moving
from Maven 1 to Maven 2 was to adapt test cases - many were broken due to
different class loading
strategy in Maven 2. An other problem was that Maven "surefire" test runner had
some annoying bugs
at that time. It was too much work to fix the test cases of every Geotools
modules by a single
contributor. Thanksfully, we got more volunters in 2006, but it sound like that
none of us took the
time to maintain the "oraclespatial" module.

Thanks for fixing the test cases. About tracking what gets build, I guess that
the question can be
reformulated as: what to do about orphelan modules?
