Hi Andrea, Actually you're right. I should do this in GeoTools (cc-ing geotools devel instead). Originally I thought I'd need a dependency to wps-core, but it's the other way around. Also the classes I'm interested in are covered by GPL-2, therefore forcing a GPL license on my code. Would that be a problem? Also we haven't planned to integrate them with feature collections, so I haven't thought about it.

Wondering, on trunk most of the processes that have nothing to do with GeoServer internals are in Geotools. Wondering if using r-serve forces a GPL license on the code though? I'm also curious about the integration between feature collections and R spatial abilities, how is it going to happen?
