Yep, I'd agree. And for something so core to the application, I think it's really important to preserve the 100% Java aspect, with all the benefits of platform-independence that it brings.
Plus all that JNI hacking - brrrrrr! Format transformation is less core to the architecture, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to look to GDAL to provide formats which are required. Perhaps this could be done by simply making OS external process calls, rather than in-process bindings to the library?
