[udig-dev] sprint update

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I am taking part in the locationtech sprint - and not having much progress.

One thing that has happened with the update to geotools 14.1 is a bunch of new transititive dependencies on jai-ext modules (each of which contribute a new replacement JAI operator). We will eventually transition to these ... but at the momement they are off by default so I was not going to include them.

I am experimenting (https://github.com/locationtech/udig-platform/tree/libs.geotools) with breaking "libs" into two modules:

- libs.geotools - the geotools 14.1 jars and their friends

- libs - assorted jars needed by plugins scattered throughout the udig codebase

The idea is to get the core udig functionality turning over on a reduced set of dependencies. Taking this approach I went from 175 jars down to 125 jars.

I am not sure if this will be successful, but it is worth trying.
