Hey Andrea, I happened to notice you added imageio-ext to the build. It's cool that we can build without GDAL but unfortunately, for the reasons explained below, I have reverted that change on trunk at revision 31151. I expect that you will have to do the same on the 2.5 branch prior to release but, since that is critical for your work, I'll leave you to do the change when it works for you.
As I understood things, the imageio-ext was isolated to a build profile for as long as it would take for the imageio-ext project to mature. Then we planned to have a formal review of that dependency like all the others and after that include it formally in Geotools. Unfortunately, this work is not yet done. Critically, a quick perusal of all the code files in imageio-ext shows that it's illegal for us to use. Legally we don't have the right even to read certain files (PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL) and there's at least one other issue I saw that makes it impossible for us to simply include in our build. That stuff will have to be cleared up in a convincing way. Hopefully, imageio-ext will undergo a formal review of its own, clean up what needs cleaning, and make an initial release when it's ready. After that, Geotools will be able to consider the formal dependency. For now we are stuck adding a -Pgdal flag to the build. --adrian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Geotools-devel mailing list Geotools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotools-devel
