FYI: Few month ago I started a discussion on the geotools-developer mailinglist (see [1]) . The project because I was asking for the S-57 reader/renderer has not been started yet and I've no idea whether it will come ...
I'm not a C++ developer but I guess we could find an other approach solving the requirement to get S-57 charts into geotools and therefore geoserver and udig. IMHO we should have a look at the libs52 [3] library and properly the OpenCPN [2] project, which - hopefully I understood correctly - uses the gdal library to load S-57 data.
