Currently the test cases are provided as XML files containing WKT or WKB 
representations of geometries.  This is a simple format which is easy to 
parse.  The tests are supplied in the standard JTS distribution archive.

I don't have any better ideas.  I'm open to suggestions which don't 
require a ton of extra work.

As I understand it Geotools currently hosts JTS in their Maven 
repository.  This seems like a happy arrangement to me.  Perhaps that 
can be considered to be Geotools' contribution to the JTS project?
