My suggestion is as follows: step 1> change the depency scop ( I think daniele has already done that) step 2> change the code to load the test data and avoid the arcgrid dependency (Yeah, my fault, I was lazy and it was easy to use the imagereader for that :-) ) Step 2 require some work hence we cannot make it today, but for sure we'll do that before next release > My concern is not about the GeoTools arcgrid module.

I understand your concern and I agree with the fact that we should remove the depdency on the render since it is really bad that, even for a limited scope like testing, we depend on a snapshot library.
