Jerome,
I think you are right to be focusing on GeoServer and GeoTools in the 
first instance, as both projects are both widely used, and have a strong 
community behind them.

GeoServer depends upon GeoTools which in turn depends upon JTS.
I'd be interested to hear Ben's recommendations re packaging.
