[udig-dev] lowagie.itext dependency for GeoScript

[Frank Gasdorf <fgdrf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I reviewed the dependency-tree for the libs bundle and have seen, that we have a dependency from geoscript to lowagie.itext.

[INFO] +- org.geoscript:geoscript-groovy:jar:1.1-SNAPSHOT:compile

[INFO] |  +- org.geotools:gt-geojson:jar:9.0-M0:compile

[INFO] |  |  \- com.googlecode.json-simple:json-simple:jar:1.1:compile

[INFO] |  +- org.geotools:gt-gtopo30:jar:9.0-M0:compile

[INFO] |  +- org.geotools:gt-imagepyramid:jar:9.0-M0:compile

[INFO] |  +- org.jaitools:jt-jiffleop:jar:0.2.0:compile

[INFO] |  +- org.json:json:jar:20090211:compile

[INFO] |  \- com.lowagie:itext:jar:2.1.7:compile

Because of already approved CQ for itext 2.1.7 (https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7477) we can and included this bundle already from orbit repository.

I like to suggest to exclude com.lowagie.itext from pom-libs, update the manifest and classpath files (in addition to build.properties) and import packages in version 2.1.7 (resolved from bundle from CQ 3475)

I assume the geoscript would work like expected. 

Otherwise I guess we have to create an other CQ for transitive dependencies for GeoScript. 

@Jody: Any hints from your side after the call with Sharon? Whats your feeling about it?
