We are starting to look at replacing JAI <https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Replace-JAI>, and will be doing design and fundraising over the course of 2016. JAI is not open source so we are unable to place it on maven central. The second part is service provider interface is a pain in some environments, and the "service registry" we use looks to be unsupported in Java 9.
If you have any suggestions on parties interested in the above tasks we would love to know. -- Jody Garnett On 24 November 2015 at 14:35, teeschke <daniel.te...@web.de> wrote: > Dear GeoTools users and developers, > > after embedding GeoTools in my n-th project I am very annoyed about the > complexity and pitfalls of this process.
