Hi Andrea, I just had the need to export some featurecollesction and check for the correctness of results in ArcGis with some other data, as a quick visualization workaround - I don't do visualization in GT...(I guess I should use uDig for this, eh?). Anyway, this has resulted in an error from the prj. so I googled it and asked. It is not critical for me now, and I also think we should stick with the official database.
Not sure what else could be done... I do not have the time and resources to figure a patch, but I guess that an optional parameter to newDataStore.forceSchemaCRS(crs, "authority"); could be done, where one could avoid it, defaulting to EPSG, or specify ESRI or Oracle or whatever... this would require an additional DB of definitions which would be a pain to maintain, I guess...
