Hi all, I am not sure if this is something feasible or not, but, even if I have great respect for Martin (hi Martin) and the geotoolkit project, I would hope in something slightly different (even if I still do not know what...). I for example am using geotools and netcdf (geotools preocesses them also) a lot for modeling in JGrass. I do not care that much about people prefering one or the other project (that's life in forks and is ok to me), but I really would not like be penalized to be using geotools over geotoolkit. If this should happen I can't imagine how many problems might rise for me (me==geotools user that need netcdf) since the coexistence of the two fork-libs is not well feasible. Does that make some sense? I would love to hear comments on that.
