Hello all
Just to brings my 2 cents. We have see with the "JAXB in metadata" topic that
managing dependencies is not an easy task, and we are still looking for a
solution to this JAXB issue (I have some idea along the line of splitting the
GeoTools project is a number of sub-projects).
If I'm understanding right, the GDAL dependencies in "render" now appears
indirectly through Maven transitive dependencies. We could document that the
GDAL wrapper JAR can be deleted and the render will still work, but this is not
obvious. To make a comparaison (again) with metadata/referencing, few peoples
are aware that referencing can be used as a standalone module. It leads me
again
to the idea of splitting the GeoTools project in a number of sub-projects.
"imageio-ext" is not a dependency like the other ones to us. Some libraries
like
Apache, JTS and Sun Microsystems are widely trusted (even if they still have
bugs). "imageio-ext" is a work in progress by what looks like a subset of the
GeoTools community (maybe I'm wrong - I don't know the list of contributors).
Being isolated on an external SVN, I don't think it has received the reviewing
it would have got on GeoTools SVN (at least not from me - I don't know for
other).
