Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] geotools library as an OSGI plugin

[Jody G. <jod...@gm...>]

Is it possible to use the work you did to update the GeoTools project?

I could help review patches and with the process of getting commit access etc. This is an outstanding issue
that several development teams hit a year, each do a temporary fix, and don't commit the result back etc...
