The JTS project does not upload jars and source to the maven repositories - that is something the GeoTools community does everytime we upgrade; and even then we often do not upload the source code (because it involves a bunch of grunt work). I think we are up to JTS version 1.9 or so ... perhaps the difference between that and the javadocs you found explains the poor explanation?
Jody PS. I have CCed the developer of JTS (Martin Davis) who is a co-worker. At somepoint we were going to help him switch to maven (or at least maven-ant-tasks) but he is resisting :-) > > Tara > > > Michael Bedward wrote: >> I think the problem is that Netbeans 6.1 sets Java 1.4 as the default >> when creating / opening a maven project. >> >> In Project window, right click on the project element, then select >> Sources in the list on the RHS of the dialog, then at bottom left of >> dialog there should be a pull-down list called 'Source / Binary >> Format' where you can change the version. >> >> I forget this every time until I do the first build :) >> >> Michael >> >> ps.
