GeoTools Provenance Review

Nothing to see here - why? Because the work is being done on a module by module basis, and the results posted to the geotools wiki. We will post results here as they are made available.

You can find status, including IP status, from this page here:
 * Module Matrix

A couple of modules have already encountered issues, mostly those working with propiatary systems such as ArcSDE or Oracle where our ability to distribute jars and drivers is in question.

Turning Off Downloads
After a public email on the GeoServer list, we have chosen to turn off historical downloads of the geotools platform, and produced a new download that does not contain ArcSDE support.

We may choose to turn historical downloads on again, or issue a patch for each stable branch, depending on community needs.
