[James M. (JIRA) <ji...@co...>]

Create GDAL binding
-------------------

         Key: GEOT-500
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-500
     Project: GeoTools
        Type: New Feature
    Reporter: James Macgill
    Priority: Minor


GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats that is released under an X/MIT style Open Source license. As a library, it presents a  single abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. 

GDAL is written in C so this task would require the generation of a JNI binding.  As GDAL relatets to rasters the place to hook in to geotools would be the GridCoverage API.
