I was not criticizing since I'm doing only a cleanup of geotools svn. Since I'm
not touching to udig SVN, I'm not in position to make anything else than a "by
the way" observation, and my observation may very well be irrelevant...

It would make a smaller SVN to backup for the administrator, but I don't know if
you use Maven to build uDig, and if so what are the problems that prevented the
dependencies mechanism to work. A possible workaround could have been to put all
the JARs in the "resources" directory of a Maven module (not necessarly commited
to SVN, except maybe the pom.xml and directory structure) and get other modules
to download and unpack those JARs using the Maven "resources" plugin (if I
remember right).

Really not sure it is relevant though...
