      Data is waiting for checks.
        http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1905

  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 http://www.geo-solutions.it/doc/readme/ECWEULA.txt)
  explicitly prohibits that type of use unless you have paid a lincesing fee to Leica to use ECW SDK on a server.
  In case you dont agree the ECW EULA, stop using this module.
