Refactor geoapi-pending to geotools util module
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-3364
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3364
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core metadata
    Affects Versions: 2.7-beta1
            Reporter: Jody Garnett
            Assignee: Jody Garnett
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.7-beta1


The geoapi-pending module is a set of unofficial interfaces implemented by GeoTools in a collaborative fashion with the OGC. This patch takes these interfaces back into the GeoTools library for maintenance; allowing us to update the javadocs in a timely fashion. The OGC copywriter and org.opengis package structure is maintained for compatibility; allowing these interfaces to be donated to GeoAPI if funding or volunteer effort permit.

1) The gt-util.patch contains

The core interfaces are:
- filter
- feature
- style

The remainder are lightly used:
- coverage
- geometry
- temporal

And a couple of utility classes / annotations.

2) I would like the gt-util module to play host to several utility and integration classes currently residing in the org.geotools.metadata; as such it represents an integration module with facilities for the GeoTools library auto-wire plugins; connect to logging systems and so forth. This would be done once the above patch has been applied

This patch does not introduce *any* api change.
