~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  IP Review:

  	* Daniele Romagnoli March 2010

  STATUS: OK
  
  * Code: Clean
  
  * Data: OK 

  This module is the set of geotools plugins leveraging on imageio-ext project 
  which provides access to several raster data formats leveraging on GDAL.


* Important Note
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  The ECW/JP2KECW plugin shall not be used within a server application to DECODE ECW format.
  The ECW EULA (read this at https://imageio-ext.dev.java.net/files/documents/7505/124153/ECWEULA.txt)
  explicitly prohibits that type of use unless you have paid a lincesing fee to Erdas to use ECW SDK on a server.
  In case you don't agree the ECW EULA, stop using the module.
