GeoTools 25.2 Released

  The GeoTools team is pleased to announce the release GeoTools 25.2: 

GeoTools 25.2 is published to repo.osgeo.org for direct build integration. This release is made in conjunction with GeoServer 2.19.2.
Update 2024-07-1: CVE-2024-36404 patch geotools-25.2-patches.zip

Repackaged Downloads

The above GeoTools downloads have been repackaged to include html readme and license files, as part of this update some license files have been updated to reflect components used by the GeoTools library.

In addition the geotools-25.2-bin.zip release above has been repackaged with the following folder structure:
  • lib - geotools library, extensions and plugins
  • optional - plugins requiring additional configuration such as gt-epsg-postgresql and gt-epsg-wkt
  • licenses
  • src - tutorial Quickstart sample code
Using this setup geotools is now ready to try out of the box:

java -cp "lib/*" org.geotools.util.factory.GeoTools

And the Quickstart tutorial can be tried in a few lines of code:

mkdir bin
javac -cp "lib/*" -d bin src/org/geotools/tutorial/quickstart/Quickstart.java 
java -cp "lib/*:bin" org.geotools.tutorial.quickstart.Quickstart

These changes are intended to make it easier to try out GeoTools.
