Split org.geotools.util and its friends in a GT2 "util" module
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-1517
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1517
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: core metadata
    Affects Versions: 2.5-M0
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
            Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.5-M1


The {{metadata}} module contains some utilities packages that are not directly 
related to metadata:

* {{org.geotools.factory}}
* {{org.geotools.io}}
* {{org.geotools.math}}
* {{org.geotools.resources}}
* {{org.geotools.util}}

Those packages were initially small, and located in the {{metadata}} module 
because we though that they were too small to deserve their own module and 
{{metadata}} is simply to first module in current Geotools dependencies chain. 
However those packages have growth, especially {{org.geotools.util}}, and may 
now be big enough to deserve a separated module.

An other reason for making this split is that such module may be of some use in 
independant projects like {{imageio-ext}} that don't want to depend on geomatic.

Whatever {{org.geotools.factory}} should be included or not in the {{util}} 
module remain to be decided, since this package is more closely related to 
geomatic than other packages.
