        GeoTrellis uses proj4j, but we actually took the code [1] and made some edits in our copied codebase because there was no maven central version. We copied it because we needed to make a bunch of things Serializable, and it seemed like the path of least resistance. It hurt my open-source feelings, though, to work on a forked copy and not work off of the main version, so I'm really happy that proj4j could move to GitHub and be a join OSGeo/LocationTech project so that collaboration is easier and the binaries can be published through LocationTech's process. I'd be happy to help out submitting the project, moving it to GitHub, and all the other legwork that it would take to get this done.

            I'm in the process of moving JTS to LocationTech [1], to benefit from the wider exposure (and funding!) that may bring.  It''s also moving to GitHub, for all the usual reasons.

            it seems like Proj4J is also a great candidate to move to GitHub, be mavenized, and ultimately be submitted to LocationTech as a joint.  (The LT move does not affect its status as an OSGeo project!)

            I think this will give it a lot more exposure and dev love, and will make it easier for projects to use it.
