Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines.  I'm pretty sure in
maven there's some way to make it so it doesn't try to download the jars,
I think you use the non-distributable jars list.  I'll play with it this
morning a bit.  But yes, I'm hoping that just adding the classes12 and
sdoapi jars to a user's runtime will work - though we need some testing...  
I'm worried about the dummy_spatial file getting in the way.  And feel
free to change the name of that jar as well...dummy-sdoapi is probably a
better name.  But yes, a readme is a good idea, and if we could get the
text to show up in modules.geotools.org that'd be nice as well.
