We have a blocker on GeoTools 2.4 to check if the we can use OSGi to wire up GeoTools (rather then FactorySPI) - if that is successful I imagine we can break up libs into its component parts (and no longer have this hack of an ant script to maintain).
If you want a real sad story you should hear about the JPox guys, JPox is actually wired with OSGi, when they wrapped this up in GeoTools they needed to allow for this, and when that was wrapped up back in OSGi again for uDig libs ... well lets say they had a couple of weeks worth of fun with classloaders (and uncovered a few assumptions in the JPox code). There is a nice presentation on what they did that should appear on the uDig website soon. Cheers, Jody > Yup, you will have to drag in commons-beanutils into the set of > libraries.
