Reclamation :-) First, I use geotools also in an EJB Container,having its own life cicle and class loader.
Second, I use geotools in a Java Applet, yet another life cyle. The Java VM is started only once and there can be many different applets. The only thing I want to say is that we should not forget that geotools is used in other environments too. I am happy with your proposal, but sometimes I get the feeling that geotools is made for geoserver only, that would be a pity. Thats my opinion, but as you know, I am always ready for a compromise.
