Hi, Everyone,
I've decided to revisit SIS-32, the TIKA/GDAL integration for spatial metadata 
from supported formats in TIKA.  I'm starting to lay out the anticipated 
metadata, and the very first thing I run into is the Envelope of the image / 
vector data.  Needless to say, this should be in some type of Geometry.  I've 
been doing some initial research for this, and it seems that everyone's choice 
for this (JTS) is LGPL, which isn't APL compatible.  Other suggestions are also 
ESRI's geometry library (not really appropriate for what we're doing) and some 
other LGPL/GPL libraries.  Another suggestion is java.awt.geom, but it seems a 
little too unfinished to me.  Does anyone out there have a suggestion for this, 
or are we basically in the position of having to roll our own support.  
Obviously, I'd rather find a pre-built binary we can live with, as long as the 
interface is ok, but if we have to build it out….

Joe
