Grazie Simone. I was under the impression that ImageIO is required by 
geotools to read the tiff files in. If I'm wrong about that, then I 
suppose everything could work, but I'd be left with a question mark 
about the role of the ImageIO requirement in geotools. I am not running 
that configuration myself, but I'm getting reports from my team that 
they can't even install ImageIO in the 64bit JVM. I've been also running 
on 64bit machines and OS, but only using a 32bit JVM.

So you're using a 64bit JVM on Win and having no problems? That would 
make my guys really happy... still, if ImageIO is a real requirement, 
that avenue seems at least partially broken.

Grazie, ferdinando
