Update: Initial release was accidentially compiled with Java 11, and has been recompiled using Java 8 on Feburary 22, 2020.

Source code

The active GeoTools branches (main, 26.x and 25.x) now include a .gitattributes file specifying how linefeeds are handled for our repository. With this change you are no longer required to set global core.autocrlf=input to prevent conflict with other developers when editing text files.

A number of files with inconsistent line endings were cleaned up as part of this activity.

Use git reset as outlined below if encounter difficulty updating your checkout:

git pull --rebase

git reset --hard

Fixes and improvements

Release notes now attached to GitHub tag, no longer stored in Jira as this required a credentials to access
Rendering pre-process Mark Factories Hint available allowing improved performance
YSLD support for rule vendor options

For more information see the 26.2 Release Notes.

About GeoTools 26 Series

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.

GeoTools 24.2 released

The GeoTools team is pleased to share the availability of GeoTools 24.2 :

This release is published to the osgeo maven repository, and is made in conjunction with GeoServer 2.18.2. This is a stable release and is a recommended upgrade for all users of the GeoTools library.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this release. The large number of fixes this release are in part to participation in a bug fix sprint organized by GeoSolutions.

Improvements and Fixes

From our issue tracker release-notes :

Support for ImageIO-ext based COG readers landed in this release, both for stand-alone GeoTiff and image mosaics (make sure to have the necessary dependencies in the classpath)
Ability to limit oversampling while reprojecting rasters, when accurate resolution computation is enabled (on by default)
MySQL 8 spatial functions are now supported
A bunch of dependencies have been upgraded, including the MySQL JDBC driver, sqlite JDBC (used by GeoPackage), Batik, Apache HTTP components, Guava
Other assorted but fixes to shapefile readers, PostGIS datastore, WMTS cascading, the CSS module, and more, check the release-notes for full details.

GeoTools 21.0 Released

The GeoTools is pleased to announce the release of GeoTools 21.0 our first release with both Java 11 and Java 8 compatibility:

This is a stable release of GeoTools made in conjunction with GeoServer 2.15 and GeoWebCache 1.15.

Release highlights:

Works with both Java 11 and Java 8
The image processing operations from JAI-EXT are turned on by default (enabling NODATA support for raster data)
The combination of app-schema with PostGIS DataStore provides improved OR performance with complex subqueries
A new command line tool is available to migrate NetCDF H2 indexes to a centralized database
PostGIS DataStore supports NEAREST spatial predicate
Improved parsing of NetCDF units
Equal area function for vector data classification
CSS Styling has improved its Flat mode making better use of nested rules
Release notes (21.0 | 21-RC | 21-M0 )

This release works with both Java 11 and Java 8, downstream projects are advised that some imports will need to be fixed when upgrading as classes were repackaged for Java 11 compatibility.

We have worked very hard for this release to work with both Java 11 and Java 8. By hitting this goal we are offering GeoTools users and downstream projects the option of migrating to Java 11 when they are ready.

This release completes our participation in the OSGeo Java 2018 Code Sprint. Thanks to individuals and organizations which took part in the code sprint: Boundless, GeoSolutions, GeoCat, Astun Technology, and CCRi. Additional thanks to our sponsors whose financial support helps make these activities possible: silver sponsor Gaia3D, bronze sponsors atol, osgeo:uk, and Astun Technology.

Java 11 Compatibility

The GeoTools library is now available for use on the module path, see our Java 11 Quickstart for an example:


module org.geotools.tutorial.quickstart {
   requires java.desktop;
   requires org.geotools.main;
   requires org.geotools.shapefile;
   requires org.geotools.swing;
   requires org.geotools.render;
}

Internally GeoTools library includes a MANIFEST.MF entries in each jar providing automatic module names:



Dependency Upgrade Automatic Module Name

gt-opengis gt-opengis org.geotools.opengis
gt-metadata gt-metadata org.geotools.metadata
gt-api (removed) 
gt-referencing gt-referencing org.geotools.referencing
gt-main gt-main org.geotools.main
gt-xml gt-xml org.geotools.xml
gt-xml gt-xml org.geotools.xml
gt-main gt-main org.geotools.data
gt-jdbc gt-jdbc org.geotools.jdbc

GeoTools Library Restructure

As part of this work many GeoTools dependencies were updated, and the library was repackaged for use as Java 11 modules. The most significant change is the removal of the gt-api module with its classes being distributed across the other modules.

Module Package

gt-api org.geotools.decorate

gt-metadata org.geotools.util.decorate

gt-api org.geotools.data

gt-main org.geotools.data

gt-api org.geotools.data.simple

gt-main org.geotools.data.simple

gt-api org.geotools.decorate

gt-main org.geotools.util.decorate

gt-api org.geotools.factory

gt-main org.geotools.factory

gt-api org.geotools.feature

gt-main org.geotools.feature

gt-api org.geotools.filter

gt-main org.geotools.filter

gt-api org.geotools.filter.expression

gt-main org.geotools.filter.expression

A key technical requirement for Java 11 compatibility is avoiding having two modules making use of the same package. To avoid this "split-package" error some classes have been moved to different packages.

For additional details see the upgrade instructions in our user guide, or for the complete list the spreadsheet used to coordinate code-sprint activities.

Over 400 classes moved!

Java Roadmap Compatibility

The GeoTools library can now be built with Java 11 or Java 8, due to a technical limitation with the core java class libraries our releases will be built with Java 8 for the widest compatibility.

Oracle has contributed a wide range of technologies to the OpenJDK project which now leads Java 11 roadmap going forward.

Java 11 Provider	License	Linux	macOS	Solaris	Windows	Free Updates
Oracle JDK	Binary Code License	x	x	x	x	2019 March
Oracle OpenJDK	GPL	x	x		x	2019 March
RedHat OpenJDK	GPL	x				2024 October
Adopt OpenJDK	GPL	x	x		x	2022 September

While Oracle JDK 8 has reached end-of-life the open source community has responded with extensive Java 8 support options. RedHat has made a public commitment to contribute fixes to the upstream Java 8 codebase, while a range of organizations are making Java 8 builds available for Windows and macOS users.

Java 8 Provider	License	Linux	macOS	Solaris	Windows	Free Updates
Oracle JDK	Binary Code License	x	x	x	x	2019 January
Oracle OpenJDK	GPL	x				reference only
Oracle OpenJDK	Binary Code License	x			x	reference only
RedHat OpenJDK	GPL	x				2023 June
Adopt OpenJDK	GPL	x	x		x	2023 September

Existing OpenJDK users remain unaffected and can upgrade to Java 11 when ready. If you have been using the public distribution of Oracle JDK 8 we recommend switching to OpenJDK 8 at this time, and planning your migration to Java 11 in the next two years.
