Hi Jenny:
Welcome to GeoTools :-) There is a procedure to follow - and you have already
accomplished step one:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/Creating+your+own+Module
The wiki page above describes everything a bit better then this quick email.
Next up is reading the GeoTools developer guide; in particular we want to check
that you understand the build process (ie don't break the build!); and have
agreed to the code contribution agreement.
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/Home
For more information on the code contribution agreement:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/2+Committers
- GeotoolsAssignmentToOSGeo.pdf
You will need to sign this; and let us know via email when it is in the mail....
I do have one question for you; if there is a specific jdbc driver for the
teradatabase? And if so is it something geotools can have permission to
distribute? This would be something we would upload to the maven repository
etc? If not we ask people to make a "dummy" jar as has been done for oracle....
Now it could be you are fine to stay within the confines of the jdbc
specification which would make things easier all around. Have a look at the
oracle plugin to see how tests are only run if we are sure the user has
installed the jdbc driver into their local maven repository.
Other then that you are in good company; a crew from ingress have just started
a jdbc datastore of their own and you can trade questions.
