Just to clarify between demos and tools. Tools are for those things
(utilities) that don't fall into the other categories but also require admin
access to use because they give too much access. Examples that i have
developed tools for are:
* an h2 viewer for viewing and debugging any h2 database used on the server
* a python console for interactive scripting which provides access to the
geoserver catalog
Both of which could not be provided obviously via anonymous access.
That said i think wcs builder falls under demos. But I think makes most
sense in the web-wcs module. And since it is a ui demo contribution i think
is pretty low risk to commit there.
+1 on the patch.
2c.
