Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] What's the difference between gt-postgis and gt-jdbc-postgis

[Yingqi T. <ana...@gm...>]

Thanks for the explanation, Ben.

A follow up question though, when I follow the steps in GeoTools "Get
Started" and include the gt-jdbc-postgis as a dependency in pom.xml like
below:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.geotools</
groupId>
            <artifactId>gt-jdbc-postgis</artifactId>
            <version>2.7-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>

If I run "mvn install", I will get an error saying gt-jdbc-postgis missing
or can not be found in the repository, something like that. Actually if you
go to
http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/org/geotools/gt-jdbc-postgis/,
there is no jar file there, and also if I build GeoTools from source code
myself the gt-jdbc-postgis will not be added into my local .m2 folder
either.

Anyone know what is the reason for that?
