I'm fairly new to GeoTools, I've been asked to package it for use with an 
Eclipse application.  I'd like to make it fairly modular and plug-in 
oriented.  I was hoping to avoid making one humgous plug-in.  We develop a 
number of applications which have various GIS needs, some of them will 
require minimial features, some of them will require a significant subset of 
the functionality.  So some grouping of the various plug-ins or dependency 
graph would be useful.

I am also attempting to track down the various sources for the original Jar 
files to verify that we are compliant with the licenses.  Ironically, the 
2.2 release is not compliant with it's own license (It is an LGPL'ed license 
and the license is not delivered with a copy of the source or binaries as 
nearly as I can tell).

I have been tracking down various libraries, and the only one I have found 
seriously concerning is the "beam-1.0.jar".  It appears to be from this 
website (searching for the fully qualified class names turns up packages 
from Javadocs hosted on that site):

http://www.brockmann-consult.de/beam/downloads.html

It's listed as GPL for the current version (3.x), but this looks like it 
might be an older version (1.0 from the Jar name).  I'm trying to track down 
where the software came from, but I'm relatively new to Maven and having a 
hard time figuring out where it gets downloaded.

Anyways, I'm just trying to track down all of the various licenses and 
tracing where all of the libraries came from is a non-trival task.  I was 
curious if there was an existing resource that could help me out.  I read 
thru the architecture portions of the Wiki and they didn't have quite what I 
needed.

Thanks,
      Kirby
