[geotk] geotk-referencing and metadata Citations

[Martin Desruisseaux]

Hello Emmanuel

I wonder if the problem is a dependency, because of the error message
with rather suggest that the class has been found but its initialization
failed. Is there a "caused by" exception after the reported one?

Alternatively I noticed that when a class initialization fails, the
first usage attempt is a ClassInitializationError (as we would expect)
while all subsequent usage attempts result in ClassNotFoundException. So
if there is other exceptions in addition to this one, the very first
exception may be the most informative one.

However the error is surprising since it occurs in a widely-used method.
I think we should have got many JUnit test failures if they were a
problem there. Maybe they were a problem with downloaded Geotk
artefacts, maybe related to the build issues we had. I would suggest to
try again to build your application with:

mvn clean install --update-snapshots
