I just have some advocacy work to do, right now GeoTools is often viewed 
as an all or nothing affair. In actual fact it is arranged into a series 
of layers (much like the proj, geos, gdal stack).  Some of the geotools 
"layers" are handled as separate projects (like JTS)  others the 
individual geotools modules ... you only need to include as many of 
these modules as you are planning to use.

What I would like to do is make a few additional GeoTools downloads 
available for specific purposes; that is probably a good idea regardless 
of how this discussion plays out.

Cheers,
Jody
