Hi Eric,
Great questions! For #1, yes, it is likely possible. I think we
might have to ask Jody how he came up with that zip file.
If you are just looking for the jars, they are available from
Maven central. (That is, you could grab them from here:
http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/locationtech/jts/ in a
different, albeit manual manner.)
For #2, there are some more complicated questions around what
LocationTech JTS can depend on, etc. JTS is open-sourced through
the LocationTech working group of the Eclipse Foundation.
Foundations such as Eclipse, Apache, and the FSF all have
different rules about what is fair to use and not use in an open
source project. The licenses around the Oracle and Esri
dependencies are such that (in my understanding) those modules
cannot be in the main build.
Incidentally, the conversation on this issue
(
https://github.com/locationtech/jts/issues/78) includes some
discussion about publishing the Oracle support jars.
Cheers,
Jim
