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
