There is the main points of an IRC talk I just had with Simone:
* The org.geotools.coverage.io package is in the way of Simone's work. For
example org.geotools.coverage.io defines a AbstractGridCoverageReader class,
while org.geotools.data.coverage defines a AbstractGridCoverage2DReader class
(the "2D" were added for avoiding name clash).
* The org.geotools.coverage.io package is not used anywhere in the Geotools
code
base. However it is used in external projects like seagis.
* The org.geotools.coverage.io package still have functionalities not yet
available in org.geotools.data.coverage.
* My intend is to merge the org.geotools.coverage.io package with Simone's
work.
For example I would like to merge AbstractGridCoverageReader and
AbstractGridCoverage2DReader in a single class. Again it may take a little bit
of time before I have the time to work on it.
Consequently the proposal is to move the org.geotools.coverage.io package
(currently in the coverage module) in a separated plugin until the merge work
is
done.
Additionnaly, there is an experimental HDF and NetCDF javax.imageio.ImageReader
that we can commit to SVN, either in "spike" or as a plugin in trunk not yet
part of the build (maybe in the "community" space proposed by Jody?)
