Quick update. I tried to hand code the Behrmann projection using a 
"Cylindrical_Equal_Area" with a standard parallel of 30 degrees: 

        String behrmannWKT = 
        "PROJCS[\"World_Behrmann\"," +
            "GEOGCS[\"GCS_WGS_1984\"," +
                "DATUM[\"WGS_1984\"," +
                    "SPHEROID[\"WGS_1984\",6378137,298.257223563]]," +
                "PRIMEM[\"Greenwich\",0]," +
                "UNIT[\"Degree\",0.017453292519943295]]," +
            "PROJECTION[\"Cylindrical_Equal_Area\"]," +
            "PARAMETER[\"False_Easting\",0]," +
            "PARAMETER[\"False_Northing\",0]," +
            "PARAMETER[\"Central_Meridian\",0]," +
            "PARAMETER[\"Standard_Parallel_1\",30]," +
            "UNIT[\"Meter\",1]," +
            "AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"54017\"]]";

        CoordinateReferenceSystem crs = CRS.parseWKT(behrmannWKT);
Throws:
org.opengis.referencing.NoSuchIdentifierException: No transform for 
classification "Cylindrical_Equal_Area".

Does geotools support any Cylindrical Equal Area Projections?

 Subject: Behrmann Projection
   
Hello-    I would like to create a map using the Behrmann Equal Area Projection 
(EPSG:54017). GeoTools doesn't seem to like this projection. When I call 
CRS.decode("EPSG:54017") I'm getting the following exception:

org.opengis.referencing.FactoryException: Error in "PROJECTION": No transform 
for classification "Behrmann".

When I try to pass in a Proj4 style string but I get a different exception.

CRS.decode("+proj=cea +lon_0=0 +lat_ts=30 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 
+ellps=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs")

Throws:

org.opengis.referencing.NoSuchAuthorityCodeException: No authority was defined 
for code "+PROJ=CEA +LON_0=0 +LAT_TS=30 +X_0=0 +Y_0=0 +DATUM=WGS84 +ELLPS=WGS84 
+UNITS=M +NO_DEFS". Did you forget "AUTHORITY:NUMBER"?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,Peter
