Hello Jody,

I would suggest it might be worth talking to the folks at IDR Solutions.  They 
have a replacement that could work if an agreement could be worked out.  
Information here: https://www.idrsolutions.com/jdeli

Regards,
Neal

PS:  If this works out perhaps that will get the GeoTiff issue moved up ;)

We are starting to look at replacing 
JAI<https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Replace-JAI>, and will be doing 
design and fundraising over the course of 2016. JAI is not open source so we 
are unable to place it on maven central. The second part is service provider 
interface is a pain in some environments, and the "service registry" we use 
looks to be unsupported in Java 9.

If you have any suggestions on parties interested in the above tasks we would 
love to know.

Dear GeoTools users and developers,

after embedding GeoTools in my n-th project I am very annoyed about the
complexity and pitfalls of this process. Two Scenarios to describe the
problem:

First: I wanted to parse a KML file and try to follow the Geometry Guide on
http://docs.geotools.org/stable/userguide/library/xml/geometry.html#kml-parser
1. add boundless repository and include gt-api, gt-main and gt-epsg-hsql
because I learned my lessons from projects before
2. trying to resolve the KMLConfiguration
a) adding gt-xml and gt-geometry modules as dependencies which is not
documented but seems to be meaningful because the how-to is about this
b) adding the xsd/gt-xsd-kml module as dependencies because I stumbled into
the xsd folder and it sounds meaningful as well
--> lucky me: it was the right one
Sidenote: I needed to scroll through the boundless repository manually to
scan for this modules

Second Scenario: whenever I want to do something with grid files - the JAI
library is required but not hosted in the maven central or boundless repo.
So I must use another repository (osgeo/webda) which seems to be the last
one which is hosting the JAI library :)

At the end of the day all this searching and trying needs a lot of time, is
not a pleasure and from my point of view not state-of-the-art because all
other libraries are available at maven central and are able to manage their
own dependencies. But in case of GeoTools I always need to look into
reference projects to find out how I was getting it the last time.

What are your experience with scenarios like this? Are you adding all
modules into the pom to not run into problems I always got or is there a
how-to I missed? :)

Thanks and kind regards,
Tee
