It depends on what JAI you refer to. If it's the pure java version, it's mandatory and every application built on top of GeoTools needs it. The dependency is pervasive, no raster processing of any kind is possible without it (e.g., not even scaling images) unless we embark on a massive rewrite. This means also uDig and potentially GeoMajas and 52N would be affected. Deegree is not based on GeoTools, but i believe it's using JAI as well. If it's the native library accelerators for JAI we're talking about instead, those are indeed optional Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success!
