I don't see any reason why it couldn't be made to work. SQLite would require native code bindings, but its achievable if non-trivial. Howevver, I'll just repeat Andrea's words from earlier: If you want to step up and work on it, please do so and make a pull request following these instructions: https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/main/.github/ PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md If you or anyone else wants to provide funding for it, the companies working on GeoServer also provide support for GeoTools (I'm not aware of any that supports GeoTools alone, but if anyone reading here has one, we could set up a commercial support page for GeoTools as well): https://geoserver.org/support/ Are you planning to do either of those?
