There is no set of dependencies for the GeoTools project as a whole, since the 
list of dependencies is selected on module-by-module basis. For example the 
referencing module has only GeoAPI, vecmath and JSR-108 (to be replaced by 
JSR-275) for unit handling. But other GeoTools modules like "main" add 
additional dependencies like JTS.

You can look at the reports generated by Maven (no need to be a Maven user; we 
try to get those reports generated automatically):

http://maven.geotools.fr/reports/

I admit that the navigation in Maven parges are not obvious. So there is a 
direct link to the list of dependencies for the referencing module:

http://maven.geotools.fr/reports/modules/library/referencing/dependencies.html

The actual set of dependencies is the union of the dependencies listed in the 
following sections:

   * Compile in Project Dependencies
   * Compile in Project Transitive Dependencies

I admit that this is not convenient - working on a better documentation and 
report generation is one important task we have for the GeoTools project.

As a comparaison, there is the list of dependencies for the "main" modules:

http://maven.geotools.fr/reports/modules/library/main/dependencies.html

I not sure where it is wrote, but GeoTools 2.5 (the trunk) requires Java 5, 
while GeoTools 2.4 and prior versions requires Java 1.4.
