Interesting indeed. I think it would be nice to leverage that library
for projection code support, as it provides support for more projections
that we already do.

I'm however worried by the lack of unit testing. GeoTools projections
are each covered by one or more tests that assesses the projection
correctness against projected values obtained by using either ArcGis
or libproj (cs2cs in particular).
That makes the projections trustworthy.

In order to switch gt2 to proj4j (only for projections) we'd have
to do quite a bit of work in terms of integration on our side (as
we'd have to keep all the work on datum/parameter/projection name
aliases to still read ESRI wkt) and to be confident we'd also have
to provide testing work. Ugh.

Long story short, I definitely have interest, but the undertaking
to start leveraging their work would be quite substantial...

Cheers
Andrea
